The teacher as teaching aid (The Practice of English Language Teaching - Jeremy Harmer) by Rocío Aracely https://padlet.com/chio_little_monster/eugkn34dys31 Our aim is to help our students to understand the language en-us 2016-08-15 20:45:45 UTC 2025-11-19 01:50:30 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png Mime and gestures  chio_little_monster https://padlet.com/chio_little_monster/eugkn34dys31/wish/118339725
Use mime gesture and expression to convey meaning and atmosphere 

Mime and expression probably work best when they exaggerated

However, gestures do not necessarily have universal meanings  ]]> 2016-08-15 20:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/chio_little_monster/eugkn34dys31/wish/118339725 The teacher as language model  chio_little_monster https://padlet.com/chio_little_monster/eugkn34dys31/wish/118339841
Student can get models of language from book or audios but we can also model language ourselves

One way to exercise this is to read dialogues aloud in front of the class

How much should a teacher talk inside the classroom? 
We want to see more STT than TTT.

A vital ingredient in the learning process of any language is exposure to it, the more comprehensible input the students get, the better. 

Students need teachers who can talk at the right level so that even if they do not understand every word we say, they do understand the meaning of what is being said.

TTQ (Teaching talking quality)
