8. In your opinion, is it necessary to apply games to teaching?
Why?
that playing games in the classroom can increase overall
motivation. Students become more motivated to learn, pay
attention, and participate in-class activities.
During individual and team activities, students tackle a
number of problems to reach a goal. Plans of action might
change when presented with new issues. the need for
strategizing and decision-making helps students learn
important critical thinking skills as they develop a plan for
success
9. Do you think critical thinking is important when learning
English?
Critical thinking has become a vital tool for sifting out
information, making decisions, and solving problems in
today's educational and societal context. Critical thinking in
language learning and the ESL classroom assists students in
properly structuring and expressing their views. It is a
necessary skill for students' personal and professional
success.

Then I'll look at the causes of poor writing and develop
goals for improvement.
11. When taking a class where the abilities of the students
are different. So how will you handle it?
I shall provide a generic test to students in order to appraise
their ability. Then I'll break them into small groups so they
can help each other out. At the same time, I will use a
variety of teaching strategies to better fit the students.
12. When students ask questions that you can’t answer
right away, what do you do?
When I encounter this situation, I will praise the student for
his new discovery, ask good questions. Next I will ask the
whole class to discuss this problem, and at the same time I
will try to find the answer.
t's fine to admit to your class that you don't know the answer to
their question – but it's not ok to just leave it there. Admit that
you don't know, but then assure them that you will find out the
answer and get back to them next lesson
What kind of student information do you find most
beneficial?
"I find that learning about a student's challenges, motivators
and interests allows me to develop and/or choose effective
teaching strategies. In my opinion, empathy is one of the most
important skills a teacher can have. By understanding a
child's personality, not just their reading level, I can meet
them where they are, help them develop their reading and
writing skills, inspire their imagination and ignite a passion
for learning."
How do you get parents and guardians involved in their
child's education?
In most cases, a child's success is dependent on the support and
encouragement they receive from their guardians. I believe that
by encouraging parents to take an active role in their child's
education, I can help my students engage with their work and
accomplish their goals.
At the beginning of each school year, I make sure that every
parent has my contact information and encourage them to reach
out with any questions or concerns they might have about their
child or their academic performance. I also provide parents
with regular email updates about the topics we cover, upcoming
tests or projects and any major accomplishments."
13. What Are the Qualities That an English Teacher
Should Possess to Be Effective?
An excellent English teacher needs to be superior in grammar,
vocabulary, and pronunciation. The students always emulate
how their teacher pronounces words, so your impact is
significant. The teacher should be able to assess the student’s
performance, know their strengths and weaknesses, and improve
their studies. He/she should additionally be confident and
develop English materials that are interesting and motivates the
students.
How Do You Stay Motivated at Work?
My biggest motivation is the success of my students. The
moment I notice an improvement in their scores, I get motivated
to put in more effort and ensure every student performs well. I
also target to ensure all my students succeed and become better
people in society. I observe what other teachers are doing to
grow and emulate to ensure I give out the best.
