The teacher as a creator of a pleasant enviroment.

As always i'll start by saying what i think by saying that i believe that the class vibe goes around the teacher's vibe, and an enthusiastic teacher is the key to the class success. Of course, there are other techniques because not all teachers look enthusiastic and they are exelent at teaching, but to teach ESL is totaly different and demands a lot of energy, and even more teaching children. Well, but going back to whether or not being enthusiastic; I remember that i used to have a teacher that never looked enthusiastic, but he's classes were so memorable because we were the one excited to give homework, and to do every excercise because he gave good rewards and made us see knowledge as the best reward. Again, want to say that enthusiasm is so important to an English teacher because the students have to feel the same way when it comes to do activities in the classroom, since the teacher is going to be sometimes doing the activities along with them. Now, there is another very good tool to make a good enviroment and that is: Creativity. Sometimes, and depending on what the teacher comes up with, creativity can help the teacher to work less, or to do a much less physical effort. In conclusion, a smile and a little effort on planning an interactive class can make us as teachers, and the students, go through a whole class without even noticing.
