The Art of Teaching: Instructive, Authoritative and Motivational

Diana Martinez

Abstract


What is more important for a teacher, to cover all the materials or to teach fewer units and get students to fully understand the information? This is a dilemma many teachers, educators, and professors face every day around the world. Matching teaching and learning styles is not an easy job; nevertheless, it is not impossible. This case study examines the role of teachers in several linguistic classes and how their performance greatly influences the students’ outcomes. Scenario one shows the importance of lesson plans and instructions, scenario two discusses the role of authority exercised by the educator and scenario three shows the motivational strategies of a passionate teacher. The art of teaching is something that cannot be performed by everyone but by those who are passionate about sharing ideas and knowledge.
