Other comments: What are the most important things a good
English teacher does in the class?
A good English teacher always builds good rapport with the
students. He or she is aware of the individual
differences of the students and accordingly put them into pairs
and groups. A spirit of competition is
created by the teacher in order to involve the students. A good
English teacher inspires and motivates the
students by being enthusiastic and dynamic.
