The central issue of my presentation was to give some advices to teachers about approaching their learners so as make them feeling enough confident to participate actively in classes; (proximity). Besides, I talked about how close we need to be from students depending on their own personality, and how confident the teacher feels about his/her class (appropiacy). Another important aspect I mentioned was the way the teacher should move across the classroom so everybody can see him/her and listen to his/her explanations. Finally, I focused on a very significant aspect: the performance of the teacher inside a classroom. Encourage our students is a task that we can never forget, specially because we are dealing with young people most of the time and they need to feel involved in the activities we prepare for them and finally achieve a meaningful learning of the language we are teaching them. So, it is very important to be enthusiastic educators and make Motivation the most crucial element when teaching our dear students.
