Article Review: Ten Characteristics of a Good Teacher (Author- Patricia Miller)

Abstract

Entitled Ten Characteristics of a Good Teacher, Patricia Miller discusses characteristics of a good teacher in her article in English Teaching Forum 2012, Volume 50, Number 1 - the first of the 50th anniversary series. Though the article is written by a well-experienced language teacher, it is written solely from her perspectives as a learner of English.

Obviously, the purpose of the author in writing this article is to share among fellow teachers some personal beliefs she holds regarding what makes a good teacher. It may well be that she is probably aware of the different yardsticks used by both teachers and students throughout the globe in their interpretations of an ideal teacher, which prompts her to venture her own ideas of a good teacher.
