# data[].attributes.body
The Spanish movie Butterfly’s Tongue (1999), La lengua de las mariposa, takes place during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Under a totalitarian regime that demonizes learning and thinking outside the established, Mr Gregorio refuses the traditional role of teachers and proposes other pedagogical practices.

There are different situations in which these other practices are shown: the teacher begins the class with a student reciting a poem, giving some recommendations and motivation to encourage the student instead of correcting him unpleasantly, creating an atmosphere full of support. The most substantial scene is in the Natural History class that will be in the garden. The students are not interested in nature, but he awakes their imagination by telling them interesting facts, such as a butterfly's tongue is similar to an elephant's trunk. The teacher likes teaching through experience and observation, generating a meaningful teaching-learning process and establishing a rapport based on mutual understanding, care, curiosity and respect.

The great debaters is a movie based in a true story where a literature professor, Melvin Tolsson, inspires students to participe in the first debate between northamerican colleges from white and black students. In this fragment, Tolsson introduces himself in the class and comes through with a word the clear goal of the semester: REVOLUTION, he invites students to this challenge.

In this scene, the professor adopts different roles in the class. First, he is a controller teacher, where he is the focus of attention in the front of the class. After that, he holds the students responsible for being part of this revolution, as agency. Finally, after class Tolsson met a student who he had known some years (recognising students) before and encourages him to achieve the challenge. Tolsson builds confidence knowing the extrinsic motivation and the school career of his student, assuming the reponsability of sustaining this motivation within his class (intrinsic motivation). In the rest of the movie we can see that the teacher creates an atmosphere of confidence and caring, such us the definition of the term rapport. Definitely, Tolsson is a professor who knows the importance of student motivation and he gives the student all the resources to achive the proposed aim.

School of rock is a film where we can find different examples of teachers. In one hand, we have the headmaster, who cares about her students but in a way she maintains an estrict behaviour with them. This of course is good to maintain an order in the school and students behaviour but also shows how students are afraid of her.

In other hand, we had the new substitute techer Dewey who arrives to bring down the idea of the "correct teacher". We can see a development of his character, as in the beggining of the film we can see a lazy and unexperienced teacher, but at the end of the film we can see that not only he cared about his students but also he tought with passion.

A very interesting point is how he could manage to develop different learning methods accompanied with differents materials and resources like CDs, musical instruments and theory.

Dewey created an excellent rapport with his students and by the end of the film, we can see that the TTT (teacher talking time)and the STT (student talking time) is equal for both teacher and students as the students have ideas to be expressed and be listened. Also, as a teacher he could manage to find a role for every student so they could participate and help in different activities.

Last but not least, I would like to highlight the use of gestures and facial expression of Dewey. These gestures and mimic were key during the whole film because also as spectator you get involved in his classes. The use of gestures and expression in a classroom is vital to catch the students attention and involve them in the class.

Many of my classmates have already talked about this movie and for that reason, I’m going to explain the scene from the movie that caught my attention.

The teacher Keating, on his first day of class, manages to give a class out of the ordinary, since the first thing he does is to take them out of their study zone, achieving a new learning environment, the Professor decides to take the students to the room that holds the memories of school history. As they gaze at the photographs of their predecessors, Keating whispers: "Carpe Diem", which means "seize the day". Thus begins an educational journey that aims to inspire the boys.

In this scene I found the terms that we were working on in class as the importance of the motivation of the students, this teacher works on intrinsic motivation, he works within the class to inspire them by making them part of the activity, reflecting and analysing poetry.

What is more, in the scene Keating presents some teacher roles such as:

CONTROLLER: he is the focus of the attention of the class, teaching the concept of “Carpe Diem”

PROMPTER: because he encourages their student, pushing them to achieve more.

In this movie, we can see a group of kids that have musical talent but who are not allowed to express themselves, which makes them feel frustrated. However, the new teacher, who is not a real teacher, noticed that they have talent and encouraged them to play music.

I have chosen this scene because we can see that, even though the protagonist is not a real teacher, he captured the commitment of his students by implementing different ways of teaching.

1) He listens and lets the students participate and decides into the class.

2) He also implements singing or playing videos in his lessons as a way of teaching.

3) He is a teacher that has different roles inside the classroom and makes it easier to trust him.

All of these attributes make their students really interested in his subject.

# data[].attributes.body
Synopsis: A year after Hurricane Katrina, Al Collins, a high school basketball coach in Marrero, Louisiana, assembles a team of players who had previously attended five different schools before the disaster and leads them on the path to the state championships. It is inspired in true events.

This scene particularly called my attention because this is the argument that made them a team. The movie start with Coach Collins saying that they needed only 5 offensive plays and 3 things to win the championship: execution, cohesiveness ("... another fancy word for teamwork.") and effort. After the hurricane stroke New Orleans, he built a team of students from the whole area and teamwork was hard to achieve due to the different schools and backgrounds his players came from.

During the movie, he tried to establish a good rapport between them. He recognised his players and focused on their strenghts and weaknesses to make them better players. He also acknowledged their abilities, but he believes in teamwork rather than individuality. For this reason, he always emphasized the idea of team play and that should be a team. He listened to his players' needs and problems even after school.

Coming back to the scene, this is the moment were he gave his players the responsability of becoming a team (agency). He had been the controller during the practices, but now was their time to talk out their differences. By the end of the scene, we see standing outside the locker room. He respected and trusted his players by not taking part in this argument and let them solve it on their own.

I apologise for the bad quality of the video, but it was the only one I found with this scene.

Merlí - Ch 1 - kitchen scene by Tiziana Vitale

# data[].attributes.body
"Merlí" is a Catalan TV show that delves into the life of a philosophy professor at a public school.

The particular scene I have chosen offers numerous insights from a pedagogical perspective.

Firstly, Merlí’s class begins with an engaging twist: holding a lesson outside the usual classroom setting. Even before speaking, he ignites his students' curiosity. When introducing the lesson topic (the "peripatetics," a group of philosophers), he uses simple, accessible language, in contrast to the often complex jargon of philosophy.

By taking his students to the school kitchen to demonstrate what these philosophers used to do, he facilitates information that would otherwise be merely theoretical. He adapts the lesson to different types of intelligences, fostering a deeper connection with the material. In addition, when encouraging reflection during the walk, he further engages his students, transforming ancient philosophers into relatable figures. However, it might make it harder for some students to understand what they're supposed to think about. Also, because Merlí doesn't have assigned seats in his class or a clear working arrangement, there is a risk that only the outgoing students participate.

He concludes the lesson with a provocative statement: "In my class, you can prove you're rational beings; elsewhere, you can remain mere animals." Though controversial, this joke helps students see him as someone they can relate to and adds humour to the lesson.

Taking the class to the kitchen shows that learning can happen anywhere, not just in the classroom. It also makes the lesson more thoughtful and relevant. Overall, Merlí's teaching style encourages students to think for themselves and be active learners, which are important skills for any teacher to cultivate.

This movie is about a teacher that encourages his students to read and to write poetry in non-conventional ways. In this scene in particular, the students had been asigned to write a poem, and the teacher asks them to read it in front of the class. The first one to read it is a bit ashamed and says that it's stupid, but the teacher tells him that it's not, trying to cheer him up. There is one student in particular who laughed at him, and who only wrote a one-line poem, trying to act funny, but instead of looking down on him, the teacher gives him an advice: not to let his poems be ordinary. There is also another student who didn't write a poem because he thinks he has nothing inside of him, and the teacher tries to convince him otherwise by making him close his eyes and using his imagination. I think this is a clear example of what a good teacher is, someone who tries to see every student as unique, and who tries to encourage them to explore what's inside of them, instead of correcting their mistakes negatively.

Enola Holmes is a film about Sherlock Holmes' sister, Enola, who discovers one day her mother is missing. So, she finds herself on a journey to solve the mystery. Even though this movie is not about teaching, this scene really sums up how teaching was in the XIX century: adoctrination. In this school for women it was all about obdience and repetition, the students didn't have a choice. Women were simply taught the duties in order to become a mother and wife in the future.

In addition, we can see how there is not a good rapport between the students and the teacher. The students can't have their a mind of their own, they can't share their opinions. The aim is just listen and obey to what the teacher says.

In the scene, Enola is the only one who doesn't act in a submissive way, therefore, she's considered a rebel who doesn't follow her duties as a woman.

I chose this scene beacuse I thought it was interesting to show how it was like to be a woman at that time. Where the only options were to be a mother and a wife and to look back and see how much has changed since then.

School of Rock is a 2003 comedy whose main character, Dewey Finn (Jack Black) poses as a substitute teacher at a high class secondary school after being fired from his rock band. Being in debt and unable to pay his rent, Finn discovers that his students are talented musicians and uses school hours to secretly rehearse with them to compete in an event called “Battle of the Bands” and win the money he needs.

Taking into consideration that Finn has never had proper teacher training, his behaviour confuses the students at first as he does not possess the skills or knowledge he is supposed to. Eventually, he is able to establish an excellent rapport with the students as he not only recognises them and their concerns but he also listens and respects who they are and their individual interests.

However, it is essential to highlight that the school head teacher and parents do not know the students are not following the class syllabus or structure and that they are devoting the whole time to rehearse for the event. In this sense, it can be said that the variety of activities is scarce and that the teacher is focusing on an outcome that has nothing to do with the curricula.

In this scene, which happens when Finn has already built a solid rapport, it can be seen that students are working in clearly divided groups based on the specific task they are fulfilling in the band. There are some students rehearsing, another group is dealing with costumes, a third one is in charge of organising the security, other students are designing the lights and projections that will accompany the show and the rest are soundproofing the classroom.

In addition, we can also witness an instance of the tutor role of the teacher when he responds to how Zack is playing and advises on how to improve his performance. This role is also developing when Finn assigns different homework for different students according to their interests and needs.

Finally, when Tomika asks to change groups, Finn listens to her and what is causing her to feel unease and he is flexible and adapts to what she needs by negotiating with her and considering her strengths.

On this episode of the classic animated series “The Simpsons” called “Bart gets an F” numerous themes surrounding education are tackled. The story focuses on the problematic relationship Bart has with responsibility at school. He systematically tries to cheat on or avoid his school tasks, which eventually puts him at risk of repeating the fourth year. On this particular scene, we can see him getting evaluated on the exam that decides his academic future. As Harmer elaborates on the text, a student’s motivation is highly important, since it creates a decision to act. On this situation, Bart is motivated to learn in order to pass to the next year, however their actions seem to be futile. Firstly the teacher takes the circumstances lightly, until she sees Bart's tears. He burst out crying and declares “This is as good as I can do and still failed” clearly the teacher needs to react. Here, the student's motivation it’s at high risk and is the teacher's responsibility to assure his capacity of learning and improving. Finally, the teacher motivates Bart by adding a new point to the exam taking into consideration the knowledge he is capable to display orally. This strategy can be connected with the concept of Multiple Intelligences, revealing that not every student has the same tools to acquire and demonstrate knowledge. Some students, just like Bart, may encounter difficulties with written communication and exhibit themselves better through an oral task.

"Être et Avoir" is a French documentary directed by Nicolas Philibert, which offers an intimate portrayal of a single-classroom school in rural France. The film highlights the challenges of teaching in a small, multi-age classroom setting and centres on the interactions between the teacher, Georges Lopez, and his students ranging in age from 4 to 11 years old.

In this excerpt, one of the students, Jojo, is learning to write when he is suddenly intrigued by the passage of time. Watching the scene under Jeremy Harmer's framework provides insights into the dynamics of teaching and learning.

As it can be observed, Mr. Lopez's strategic organisation of his classroom, with separate tables for different age groups, facilitates collaborative learning and interaction among peers. This seating arrangement also enables Mr. Lopez to efficiently manage his teaching responsibilities, allowing him to focus on instructing one group while older students continue their independent work.

In this scene, Mr. Lopez is working with very young learners in a real learning environment. He demonstrates a hands-on approach to teaching, children learn by doing as they physically engage in writing the word "maman", that is “mom” in French. To do so, he provides age-appropriate writing tools, such as thick markers which for young children who are developing fine motor skills are easier to grab.

Mr. Lopez's effective use of voice ensures audibility and variety, maintaining student engagement without disrupting the work of other students. He prompts his students, encourages their progress, and offers gentle corrections when needed, fostering and sustaining their learning motivation. Furthermore, Mr. Lopez demonstrates sensitivity to the children's short attention spans and developing abstraction skills by listening and making himself available to them. When Jojo's mind wanders from the task and asks him about time, Mr. Lopez does not dismiss his question. By doing so, not only does he recognize his student’s innate curiosity but also that a magic moment is taking place: out of the blue, he can explain time passage. Showing great adaptability, Mr. Lopez switches roles and becomes a resource. He rough-tunes his reply and gently redirects Jojo's attention to his writing lesson. Finally, in a thoughtful gesture, Mr. Lopez gives his students agency to evaluate their own progress and empowers them to take ownership of their learning journey.

Overall, the interaction between the students and Mr. Lopez illustrates the principles of effective teaching. The scene emphasises the importance of classroom management, adaptability, and rapport in facilitating meaningful learning experiences.

This scene from "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" (2012) is one of my favorites since Mr. Anderson fulfills the role of teacher I want to become.

He is empathetic, emotionally available for any of his students but not too pushy, and always emotionally supportive when they need help.

Mr. Anders saw incredible potential in Charlie from the beginning, then he decided to challenge Charlie by giving him books to read and asking him to write reports about them.

Mr. Anders saw himself in Charlie and encouraged his hunger for Literature so that Charlie could overcome his doubts and fears about himself and be the person he always wanted to be (a writer).

Besides, a phrase Mr. Anders said to Charlie stood by me: "We accept the love we think we deserve". That phrase could be applied to anyone at any moment in their lives, but I believe sometimes it might be hard to accept so we need to work on ourselves first and love ourselves the way we want someone else to love us.

Although the film “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind”, released in 2019 is not focused on teaching topics, the scene that shows the beginning of a lesson portrays the role of the teacher as a controller. He is standing at the front of the class and from that position, he greets the students and starts delivering the lesson.

Despite the shortness of the scene, it is clearly seen how his attitude towards the students lacks engagement and rapport, particularly when he mentions very few words regarding the arrival of the rain.  That rain had been anxiously expected by not only the students but also the whole community. By contrast, in my opinion, he should have devoted more time to the importance of that climate phenomenon which greatly caught the students’ attention.

It is a Danish serie based on an anti-system literature teacher, Rita, who has a great relationship with her students because of her interest in helping them to overcome any difficulty they face during their learning process.

As we can see during this episode, Rita fosters a good rapport with her students in order to make them feel confident with her. By doing so, she builds a relationship where students feel comfortable discussing their personal life, giving Rita tools not only to understand them better but also to defend them, if it is necessary, against school’s authorities and even their parents/family.

On the other hand, as Rita gets involved in students’ personal lives crossing all the academic limits established by school, she does not have a good relationship with other teachers. However, she does not reflect interest in what other teachers think about her because the only thing she cares about is to ensure that all students receive the same rights, opportunities and education.

In this fragment taken from the film "High School Musical 1" (2006), we can observe as Ms. Darbus assuming the role of the "controller" teacher: she's mainly at the front of the classroom being the main focus of attention and giving directions the students must follow. Also, I've chosen this fragment because it caught my attention how the problem with the use of cellphones during class is treated. Considering this movie was released in 2006, cellphones were quite a new problem inside the classroom and, therefore, there were completely forbidden and would cause the student to spend the whole afternoon in detention. Nowadays, while cellphones are still quite a problem inside schools, teachers try to include the use of them as a source of information, in order to keep students motivated.

“Merli” is a Catalan series set up in the context of Philosophy classes in Secondary school. Even though the story delves mainly into philosophical issues, viewers can observe several teaching aspects that may be of great interest to education professionals or future teachers. A brief analysis of the story will be conducted taking into account some of the concepts seen in Harmer’s chapters one and two, and the discussions we had during the classes.

To begin with, Merli, the professor is always thinking about how to keep their students engaged, which can be associated with motivation, a key element in the learning process. Students who feel motivated will have better results in their development than those who are unmotivated. It can be observed that Merli is in constant search of generating intrinsic motivation and sustaining it, one of the teachers’ main aims. In doing this, he asks students to take part in debates that grow their curiosity by relating philosophy to contemporary social topics they are immersed in. Although the philosophical themes addressed in the lessons are complex, the professor knows how to balance that difficulty in a way the challenge in the debates is neither too difficult nor too easy. Furthermore, Merli is always provoking his students' participation. He encourages them to question societal norms, which contributes to developing their critical thinking; something we find in a students-centered class, where they have an active role and the focus is put on them.

How I met your mother. Season 1, episode 10. 

# data[].attributes.body
In this fragment taken from the sitcom How I met your mother, two main Harmer's (1997) concepts can be easily observed. Adaptability and personality.

Despite the fact that this series is a comedy, it clearly represents how teachers need to be adaptable as unexpected situations may arise in the classroom that require quick thinking and, sometimes, improvisation. Harmer highlights that however well teachers have prepared the lesson, there are still some chances that things will not go according to the plan. In this scene, “Proffessor” Ted Mosby’s misspelling could be seen as a problem that requires a quick solution, such as self-correction or seeking assistance from his students.

Additionally, this scene also exemplifies the concept of personality. Teachers are expected to be professional and at the same time accessible to students. This scene is part of his first day as this group’s teacher and it can be observed how he struggles between being accessible and professional simultaneously. By telling his students to call him Professor he establishes the boundaries with them in order to show his professional facet. However, he immediately adjusts his behaviour to show them that he is still accessible and reliable. This change in his methods may be an attempt to foster a more relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere inside the classroom leading to the building of good rapport between Ted and his students.

The movie "Dead Poets Society" is about John Keating, an unconventional English teacher in a 1950s boys' preparatory school. He encourages students to think independently, embrace creativity, and “seize the day” through poetry. This challenges the school's rigid conformity, emphasizing critical thinking. However, Keating's methods clash with conservative values, leading to tragic outcomes. The film explores the tension between conformity and individuality in education and the impact of passionate teaching on student independence.

In this scene, the teacher, encourages Todd Anderson, one of his shy and reserved students, to overcome his fear and express himself through poetry.

The scene takes place during one of Mr. Keating's classes, where he introduces the concept of poetry as a means of personal expression. Todd, who struggles with self-confidence, is hesitant to participate. Sensing Todd's reluctance, Mr. Keating gently encourages him to write a poem on the spot.

Initially, Todd is visibly nervous and uncertain, but with Mr. Keating's guidance and support, he starts to let go of his inhibitions and allows his creativity to flow. As he begins to create, his demeanor changes, and he becomes more engaged and enthusiastic. With each word he says, Todd starts to gain confidence in his ability to express himself.

The scene captures the transformative power of mentorship and encouragement in education. Through Mr. Keating's unconventional teaching methods and his belief in Todd's potential, the scene illustrates how a dedicated teacher can help a student overcome their fears and discover their voice. It's a pivotal moment in the film that highlights the importance of nurturing self-confidence and fostering self-expression in the classroom.

Here, Mr. Keating demonstrates different teacher roles:

Resource: Mr. Keating serves as a resource for Todd by providing guidance and support as he navigates the creative process. He offers encouragement and helps Todd tap into his inner thoughts and emotions to craft his poem.

Tutor: As Todd begins to write, Mr. Keating assumes the role of a tutor, offering advice and feedback to help him develop his ideas and refine his writing. He listens attentively to Todd's words and offers gentle guidance to help him find his voice.

Overall, Mr. Keating's role in this scene exemplifies the importance of adaptability and flexibility in teaching. He seamlessly transitions between different roles to meet the diverse needs of his students and facilitate their learning process. By fostering a supportive and encouraging environment, Mr. Keating empowers Todd to overcome his fears and discover his potential as a poet.

"Dangerous Minds" is a film about a dedicated teacher, LouAnne Johnson, who uses unconventional methods to inspire and empower her high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds. At first, it is hard for her to maintain a good relationship with them but then she gets it.  Through her empathy, passion, and commitment, she helps her students overcome obstacles and realize their potential, ultimately transforming their lives.

In this scene we can see the good rapport that she has with her students when she says “learning is the prize”, walking around them and making eye contact with them to convey sincerity and to ensure her message resonates with each individual.

When the teacher says "learning is the prize," she's emphasizing that the process of learning itself is valuable and rewarding. It's not just about getting good grades or passing tests; it's about gaining knowledge and understanding. She uses this phrase to inspire her students to embrace education as a means of empowerment and self-improvement, rather than just a chore or obligation. On the other hand, the students not only pay attention but also show interest in what she is saying.

In a time marked by political and social tensions, the teacher tries to instill in his students values such as curiosity, respect for nature, and love for knowledge. To do this, he uses practical and direct experiences to teach his students, such as taking them to the forest and allowing them to explore on their own. Additionally, the teacher treats his students with respect and empathy, creating an atmosphere of trust and support. Furthermore, he encourages dialogue and debate, where students can express their opinions and points of view. This technique promotes critical thinking and the development of communication skills.

On her first day of class in a Women College, Katherine, an art professor, was shocked by the behaviour of the students. She opened a PPT to ask a question, and a girl student said all the paints of the painting fluently. Then, She switched to the next one, and the girl still answered with confidence.

Katherine was puzzles and asked if they had already taken the class. The students denied it, but they had memorized the lectures notes. One studente told Katherine they would rather study on their own. Because of that, the students left leaving an embarrased Katherine behind. In the second class, katherine showed a painting that was not in the text book. The classroom was silent, no one coul say anything about the painting. The teacher realized that these seemingly brilliant girls were only studying from books. They didn´t even have the ability to think independently about the art work.This scene exemplifies the teacher role. Katherine teaches students not only how to learn about art but also hoe to be an independant thinker. In addition to this, She advices the student about the role of women in society.

She takes the time to learn about each student's background, difficulties, and interests in order to build an environment of trust, unity, and respect within her class. In doing so, she creates a safe place where her students feel seen, heard, and valued through writing pieces. Her dedication, in my opinion, exemplifies the power of teaching and highlights the deep impact that a caring and committed educator can have on the lives of those they teach.

The movie talks about the real-life story of Pierre Dulaine, a dancer and dance teacher. In the story, Pierre (interpreted by Antonio Banderas) witnesses vandalism to the school principal's car and offers to teach ballroom dancing to the students who are in detention. He encourages them to participate in a dance competition to promote the school's dance program.

Initially, the classes took place in the school's basement, but a flood forces Pierre to move them into his dance studio. The school parents' association holds a meeting to discuss the cost of the program, and Pierre persuades them to continue by demonstrating how ballroom dancing has taught students teamwork, respect, and dignity (the video that I embedded).

In summary, the story of Pierre Dulaine highlights the crucial role of teachers in facilitating opportunities, being flexible and innovative, creating a team with the whole class, ensuring collective goals, and teaching students not only how to dance but also how to behave and be respectful of others. Apart from the fact that Pierre fulfils the teacher's role of a tutor advising the students about life (in general terms), as well as creating a good rapport with them.
