About Teaching a Second Language – Take Away the Frustration
Speaking with colleagues about teaching a second language always raises an interesting debate. Looking at French as a second language, a common response that many students give is “I hate French!”. To avoid being unrealistic, we must ask ourselves if rigidly following each strand of the French curriculum offers an organic process of intellectual growth, or if it presents an awkward and rushed approach, bounded by unrealistic goals.
One thing that I have learned about teaching a second language is that students take French for a variety of reasons. They are either pressured by government, school, or parents; and some are even self-motivated. Some students are pushed into French classes kicking and screaming, others jump at the opportunity to learn a new language and its cultural appreciation.

An Introduction To Teaching
A good teacher can open the windows of the mind. Some of the greatest people in the word attribute their success to their teachers. In China, Confucius is revered as the ideal teacher.
A teacher is someone who imparts education to students or pupils. As they teach a subject according to a lesson plan, they also improve the student’s learning and thinking skills. Teachers are trained in pedagogy, or the science and art of teaching. This system stresses systematized learning or instruction, giving the aims, principles, and methods of teaching.
University instructors are usually educated in universities or colleges. They have a university degree, which allows them to teach. A school teacher must to be certified by a government body before he can teach.
