Philosophy in Teaching English
Being
a teacher is not an easy task. Teacher’s
work like lesson plan making, classroom monitoring and the students learning
progress all these when pressure arise, somehow teacher’s life would be at
stake. However, the prize of being teaching cannot be paid. I just cannot
imagine the future of the learner would be ruined if not properly guided.
Motivating learner and inspiring them must be the objective of
academic learning. Learners should be
taught with all passion by the teachers.
When
I was younger, I never dream nor wish that I would be a teacher. My ultimate
wish was to become a prominent broadcast journalist or a writer. However, here
I am mastering my field as a teacher concentrating English Language teaching.
My
philosophy in teaching is that, I want my learners to be able to understand all
my lessons specifically in English subject. On July 18th I will be
celebrating my three years in DepEd, though I have been teaching eight years
ago in various colleges in General Santos City. As observed, In Alberto Olarte
Sr. National High School the station
where I came from have so many problems
particularly in learning English. There
are some instances when students would answer his test question in Filipino
even though the subject is English and these made me challenge as a teacher. I
understand why these problem arise , it is because they belong to diverse
culture like Blaan, Sangir, Indonesians,
Cebunanos and other cultures. However, as a teacher I have to make some ways on how to solve this problem.
Being a DepEd fellow scholar is a great opportunity in such a way that I would
be able to gain and grasp knowledge that I could apply when I get back home. I
am so thankful that God has given me the chance to be included in this endeavor
so that I could address the problem in
our community. As a half blooded IP in
my community it is very challenging on my
part having this situation – a teacher
in Balut Island.
As
a teacher in my place, I know that God gave me this duty and that is to educate
the people of Balut Island. I want them
to be like me also and with that I have to exert efforts on how to find
solutions in every problem especially in my classrooms. As of now , all these
things that I have learned specially the techniques and methods would be a
great help in educating the students where I am assigned. I am Jessemar J. Wao
and I am a teacher.
