Firstly, a good language teacher should have ethic devotion. The teacher should be a model and set agood ex ample to his students because most students would be influenced by their teacher’s behaviorunconsciously. A teacher with extreme high level of morality often has a potent and positive effect on hisstudents, rather than those with high teaching standard. So a good language teacher should show their moralquality as well as their knowledge. To be specific, a good language teacher should be fair, not only should he be fair to his students, such as treats them equally, and “partiality” is forbidden, but he sh ould properly regard the conflicts between different cultures. Besides, he should be kind and ready to help his students both in study and life. What’s more, he should be enthusiastic to his students, and has full passion for his teaching; he should be caring to his students, sometimes, only a caring look, a trusting encouragement, or a mild smile from the teacher is enough to touch the students’ hearts. In addition, hard-working and attentive are necessary for a good language teacher. We should recognize the great value of the teachers who have ethic devotion during the students’ development.Secondly, a good teacher should have personal styles. A good teacher makes learning not a dull thing buta great joy. Many teachers always keep talking about the textbook all the time so that the students feel itdifficult to focus their attentions on what the teacher are saying. As a result, the gap between teachers andstudents enlarges. Supposing the language teacher has distinct personal style during the teaching, thisproblem can be solved. For example, he can make his teaching dynamic by body languages, ordemonstrating performance; he can be patient enough and never give up any student, even though some ofthem are really mischievous and indocile; he can be creative, teaches in creative ways and encourage hisstudents to be creative and open-minded. Meanwhile, a good language teacher can be discipline and authoritative, he should be strict with students when it’s necessary. It’s important to find his unique person al styles when a teacher is teaching.Last but not least, a good language teacher should have professional qualities. A professional languageteacher should be capable enough in your own language ability. He should obtain the capability to havelanguage usage well in hand, and an excellent command of western culture. If so, he can be more knowledgeable and informed. What’s more, a good language teacher should be versatile, especially in the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It can help students to enhance the focus on realistic communication. Moreover, a good language teacher should be equipped with profession and armed with a range of skills, strategies and information. Before he gives his students a glass of water, he should have a barrel of it. He should grasp a large scope of knowledge of language and take the essence of it, then transfer it to his students. Besides, a good language teacher should be skilled in lesson planning and class management. He should be reflective and keep on reflecting on his classes and his methods of teaching, and in this way he could make progress quickly; he should be resourceful, and have a quick response to the emergency. In addition, I think the most important duty of a teacher is get experience about teaching, which is called the experiential knowledge, and after a long period of practice and reflection, he would be able to develop his professional competence, which is the most important and difficult part of being a good language teacher. In addition, a good teacher should be a life-long learner, and make sure that he keeps improving himself in his professional field, and he should always test himself by the feedback from his students, and reflect on his work. As the society develops at an amazing speed now, the students today are quite different: they are more independent, and demand a higher standard for teachers, which is a challenge for us. So we should try our best to improve ourselves, and try to be as good a teacher as we can.As the students of an normal university, besides learning the knowledge of being a good language teacher,we should have our own mind, practice our teaching skills and methods. For this part, I’d like to share myopinion about my plan for language teaching profession.So, what we expect from our language teachers? Capable, humorous, responsible, kind and so on.………………………………（密）………………………………（封）………………………………（线）………………………………密 封 线 内 答 题 无 效However, these words can’t form a system to judge a teacher.Firstly, being a good language teacher, what the premise is being a good teacher, and this refers to s ome moral requirements. There is a Chinese saying goes that “Teachers are engineers of the soul.” This suggests that teachers are responsible for our all-round development. As a role model, they not only cure our hearts but also set examples for us. When we were students, we expect our teachers have some characters such as fairness, kindness, and sense of duty. A teacher with extreme high level of morality often has a potent and positive effect on his students, rather than those with high teaching standard. Sometimes just a sentence accidentally comes out of a teacher’s mouth may influence a student’s whole life. As a language teacher, especially, when we talk about “fairness”, not only do we refer to be fair to every student and don’t isolate some certain o ne, but also should we properly regard the conflicts between different cultures. Even though we have our own opinions, judgments, or even discrimination, however, avoiding saying some radical words and treating cultures equally is the correct way. In conclusion, a responsible teacher should aim for integrated development of students, not only in knowledge, skills and abilities, but also in values, attitudes and emotions. Secondly, a professional language teacher should be capable enough in your own language ability and to influence positively on your students. As to yourself, you should obtain the capability to have language usage well in hand, and an excellent command of western culture. You can not be more knowledgeable and informed.Besides, you’d bette r be versatile, especially in the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. As we all know, students always use English as a tool. So, the utility function is urgently needed. And these four skills help to enhance the focus on realistic communication, which isessential in developing students’ competence in English. Moreover, a good language teacher should be equipped with profession and armed with a range of skills, strategies and information. Before you give your students a glass of water, you should have a barrel of it. You should grasp a large scope of knowledge of language and take the essence of it, then transfer it to your students. What’s more, you’d better let your students dip into literature works and train them to have a western way of thinking, which encourage them to involve in the western culture. But these are not enough. You also should be skilled in lesson planning and class management. It is essential to make the class lively and to let all the students engage in the class. And these requirements need your high level of profession and your own personal charisma. Students like humorous and charming teachers with strong attraction. And even in some dull academic courses, which are hard to make the class lively, you’d better prov ide some jokes related to the course to make students interested.Finally, I think a more important duty of a teacher is to be a guide, who protects students’ interest and cultivate their self-learning skills. Capable teachers should have the awareness to develop their independent spirit, which is also helpful to students’ personal life and future. A good teacher should teach his or her students “how to teach” rather than “give them fish”. You help them to discover their own way to learn the language, and lead them to find the fittest rules and patterns for themselves. Instead of waiting for the teacher to teach them, they should be taught to be active to look for every chance in using English, such as communicate with others, and speak to foreigners. Above all, good teachers should be organized and ready for their students. As a leader, or a “consultant”, raising students’ interest in language and train them to own the independent learning skills is the most valuable things to do.Ideally, a good language teacher should be excellent both in his or her professional competence and communicative competence. As to professional competence, we should be familiar to the three stages: learning, practice and reflection. As to communicative competence, we should be qualified atreal language use. Nowadays, the significance of English is raised rapidly and the pace of the world speeds up, we teachers should keep processing to make us more knowledgeable and professional.From the character analysis, I have a better understanding of myself. The following are my weaknesses: I am not good at saying no to others. Because I am willing to please or help others so I don’t want to make them disappointed. As a result, sometimes, I will have difficulty forming my own opinion. I am a littleconservative and shy to try new method. I am a sensitive person. I do care much about others’ opinion on me. I need appreciation and courage to move forward. I focus so much on details that I often ignore the whole perspective. I lack of patience. I lack of teaching practice and experience. According to these weaknesses, I draw a plan to resolve it. Here are some measures to take to improve where I am currently weak or notstrong enough. I should be independent and form my own opinion on things, especially on teaching I need to be more patient when doing things. When doing the teaching work, I should be patient with the students. For example, I should listen to them with patience and help them solve their problems. I should focus on the whole perspective and have a long-term vision. When difficulties occur in daily teaching, I need to stay calm and don’t be so anxious. Do not feel disappointed and lose heart when the students don’t understand me and don’t make much progress on their study even i f I have paid a lot. I should have a long-term vision and be confident of myself as well as my students. To put more effort in my teaching job and try to help the students develop their overall ability. I need to do more teaching practices to improve my teaching skills and ability. I will make full use of the coming internship to practice teaching and to improve my capacity of teaching. Moreover, I will often reflect my teaching and write teaching diary to make self-assessment after teaching. I should focus on myself and do things in my unique way. Do not care so much about others’ opinion on me. To form my own way of teaching. To be a unique English teacher. Try to solve problems in a new way. I should update my teaching concepts timely.

Teachers’ responsibilities are not only to teach the knowledge to students , but even more important is to teach the students how to be a good man in the society. Therefore, a teacher should have many good qualities. Especially under the full implementation of the new curriculum reform, teachers should improve themselves to keep pace with the trend. How can I become a goodEn glish teacher? From the analysis above, I’m much clearer now about the qualities I need to become a good English teacher in the near future. Not only do I need professional competence, but I also need to improve my personal qualities and moral standards. I should love my future teaching career and be dedicated and devoted to it. Learning is an endless voyage. So I need to keep on learning and updating education concepts to keep pace with the development of the society.。
