The Analysis of the Teaching Behaviour of the Teachers of English at the Intermediate Schools
Abstract
Language is an organic process that involves the simultaneous acquisition of various skills . To bring about the latter , teachers are required to use the foreign language ( henceforth FL )in those classroom learning situations that motivate learners to communicate. This is so since the teacher is the main milestone in the language teaching process , and he is responsible for presenting the teaching material , encouraging learning and monitoring learners progress . A further crucial factor in the learning process is the learner whose role in dealing with the subject of learning is very significant. In order to realize the meaning in English use, the learner has to employ all the available aids including the teachers help to improve his own learning,. What is more important is training. Training is a highly complex activity which requires knowledge, understanding, practice and experience (Strevens: 1979, 78). Therefore, the process of teaching English as a foreign language (henceforth TEFL) needs the combination of three basic interdependent elements, (1) the curriculum, (2) the teacher and (3) the learner. The current research aims at focussing on the teachers main job to convey the teaching materials and goals to the learner. The teacher should be aware of the fact to make the process of language learning as enjoyable as possible since it will take more time and effort ( Wittich: 1979 , vii). It is generally assumed as self evident that learning a language is a purposeful goal oriented activity ( Widdowson: 1984, 242 ). Therefore, when the teacher wants to develop the learners skill and confidence in communication, he should always bear in mind that his goal is the development of learners ability to interact freely with others (Rivers: 1978, i ). So, the teachers behaviour is very important in dealing and controlling the lesson in the classroom
