2. How would you define the teacher’s
role in the classroom?

3. The Controller:The teacher is in complete charge of the class, what students do, what
they say and how they say it.
The Prompter:The teacher encourages students to participate and makes suggestions
about how students may proceed in an activity. The teacher should be helping students
only when necessary.
The Resource:The teacher must make her/himself available so that learners can consult
her/him when (and only when) it is absolutely necessary.
The Assessor:The teacher assumes this role to see how well students are performing or
how well they performed. Feedback and correction are organized and carried out.

4. The Organizer:Perhaps the most difficult and important role the teacher has to play. The
success of many activities depends on good organization and on the students knowing
exactly what they are to do next. Giving instructions is vital in this role as well as setting
up activities.
The Participant:This role improves the atmosphere in the class when the teacher takes
part in an activity. However, the teacher takes arisk of dominating the activity when
performing it.
The Tutor:The teacher acts as a coach when students are involved in project work or
self-study. The teacher provides advice and guidance and helps students clarify ideas and
limit tasks. This role can be a great way to pay individual attention to a student.
