Editorial
Editorial
I n this issue, Alan Maley recommends some
references of any kind, most of us would agree that some
form of training is a good idea before teachers are set
loose in the classroom. Nowadays, teacher training and
professional development take many forms. In our main
feature, Nik Peachey describes some of the options
already available for online teacher development and,
continuing our series on what people actually do on a
daily basis in some of the jobs in our profession, Chia
Suan Chong outlines the life of a CELTA tutor. I am
grateful to Phil Wade for suggesting that we continue this
series after the first article by Sasha Wajnryb on the life of
the DOS in Issue 80 and for assembling some volunteer
contributors. Phil’s own article in this issue is on the
importance of getting to know the students and finding
out what they really want and need from their lessons.
inspirational books in which teachers recount their
experiences, often of educational contexts which
might seem overwhelmingly adverse but where they
managed to overcome the difficulties and make a real
difference to the lives and achievements of their students,
often by sheer force of personality.
And it is the personality of the teacher that occupies
Phillip Brown. He argues that personality is the key to
classroom success and that the teacher’s ability to talk to
the students, get things across and inspire them is far
more important than the formal requirements and
expectations laid down by teaching authorities.
At a purely linguistic level, John Potts asserts that the
teachers’ own idiolects, the language choices they make
which mark them out as individuals, plays an important part
in the development of their students’ language ability. He
makes a conscious effort to vary his own idiolect to give his
students exposure to as large a ‘language bath’ as possible,
and notices which of his favourite expressions his
students adopt and start to use themselves.
