As a teacher, I believe in tailoring my teaching methods based on the pupil rather than trying to fit the material into the same pedagogical box.
Some classes are better taught focused on a discussion of a single quotation, whilst others work best by putting five or six authors in conversation with one another. Others thrive when an image, or a series of images, is the focal point of the conversation. In each class, at the very least, I try to engage students in a variety of ways, with visuals, sounds, and words. However, I also believe that less can be more.
Each class I lead has a particular goal, and each discussion is the result of careful preparation. I do not want my students to leave class with their heads spinning from overstimulation. I want them to engage the material at hand, and to leave each class with some concrete understanding. Sometimes, I recap for the students and leave them with three thoughts of the day. Other times, I ask them to take a moment and write down three things they have learnt and one question they have.
I think that my greatest ability as a thinker, teacher, and learner is my ability to organise my thoughts. Although I try to use a wide variety of sources and address multiple concepts, I take great pride in the tight organisation of my lessons.
Teaching English for me, hinges on the balance between teaching content and teaching skills. The two, of course, are related: English literature for example, involves the ability not only to grasp a certain amount of information, but also to classify, organise, and analyse it and then to convey one's conclusion in clear prose. I try to model this process for the students I teach, and I challenge them to do this in discussions. I especially work with them on cultivating this process in their writing.
Precise writing is invaluable but difficult; this is a gap I endeavour to close in my lessons.
