	TESL-EJ 9.4 -- >The English Teacher as Facilitator and Authority
		In the teaching of English as a second or foreign language today, the old pedagogical ideal of the teacher as an authority transmitting knowledge to students "who do not know" is in disrepute.
		However, irrespective of whether teachers are native speakers or skilled second language speakers themselves, there is reason for thinking that as educated practitioners of the language, they have (or ought to have) a high level of practical knowledge in its pragmatics, registers, appropriate vocabulary use, and in its reading and writing skills.
		Teachers' ability to refer to and articulate such standards in evaluating practice provides students with guidance in their progress, and with a measure of the progress they have already achieved.

	R K Narayan. What about our own roots? Krishnan's journey in The English Teacher, by Ian Mackean
		Krishnan, the central character in The English Teacher, by R. Narayan (1906-2001) undertakes an emotional, intellectual, and spiritual journey during the course of the novel.
		At the start of the novel he is an English teacher, living and teaching at the same school where he was once a pupil, and at the end we see him resigning his post, beginning work at a nursery school, and learning to communicate psychically with his dead wife.
		The irony lies in the fact that although he proves to be a good teacher and a good headmaster to his students, he is a failure in the role of a father to his own children, for he fails miserably in bringing them up.

	What does the English teacher need to know?
		The English teacher, therefore, does not have to concern himself so much with modulating his language to ensure it is comprehensible to the students - unlike the science or math teacher, for example, who must ensure that the language of classroom instructions, homework, worksheets and tests is also comprehensible to beginning learners.
		It is worth recalling at this point, however, that it can take learners of English as a second language as much as 5-7 years to catch up with their native-speaking peers as far as academic language proficiency is concerned.
		I think she shouldn't, but this requires some flexibility (and extra work) on the part of the English or ESL teacher in order to ensure that she devotes time to learning the words that are important to her at this stage of her English development.

		Two distinguished professors of English at a four-year and at a two-year college will reflect on what English teachers do in their effort to produce good writers.
		To this outsider, the Department of English at Michigan looks like a department that should be called a Department of English Literature, a department in which those with status assign the unwanted and unpleasant task of teaching writing to those who lack status.
		What is important to an English professor may not be important to the manager of a dairy herd, and I dislike the elitism that is implied by presuming that some kinds of writing are more important than other kinds.

		Although English is now an Indian language, the 'English teacher' is the main impediment to its spread.
		In India, NIIT is struggling to teach English in the bazaar with the aid of technology through its famed franchisee model.
		Under these circumstances, I cannot think of a better use for the two per cent education cess that we are all paying than to pass it on to private schools to create English teachers, especially to teach Dalits, and nip at the same time the insane demand for extending reservations to the private sector.

	The English Teacher by Lily King - Multiple Book Reviews & Book Jacket Summary
		In The English Teacher, King uses her superb craftsmanship, effortlessly suspenseful pacing, and tenderly observed insight into marriage, motherhood, and family to expertly limn the life of an independent single mother and her fifteen-year-old son, who is on a circuitous path toward a truth she has long concealed from him.
		As Vida begins teaching her signature book, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, a nineteenth-century tale of an ostracized woman and social injustice, its themes begin to echo eerily in her own life and Peter sees that the mother he perceived as indomitable is collapsing and it is up to him to help.
		The English Teacher is a passionate tale of a mother and son's vital bond and a provocative look at our notions of intimacy, honesty, loyalty, family, and the real meaning of home.
