MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The article discusses the author's teaching philosophy, which focuses on supporting students to become self-sufficient and error-correcting learners. The author believes that meticulously prepared lectures are not enough for students to deeply grasp the target language. They emphasize the importance of teacher feedback in helping students recognize and learn from their mistakes. The author, as a high school English teacher, provides individual feedback and assigns independent projects as homework to challenge students. This approach has resulted in positive behavioral outcomes. The author also emphasizes the role of teachers in encouraging students' progress and supporting their growth in language learning and beyond, including cultural immersion.
