 Written by Aziza Restu Febrianto

The basic responsibilities of teachers is giving instructions and making innovative and creative teaching activities in class. It is compulsory for them to work hard finding any models, approaches, and strategies appropriate according to the lessons. They have to ensure that the students are always interested to follow their instructions. Hence, all teachers are definitely responsible for making the lesson as attractive as possible. However, teachers are also demanded to have wide knowledge and good communication skill. Students would pay great attention to the teachers who know everything. But having wide knowledge, views, and insight is not enough. Everything in their mind won’t be interesting at all for the students without convincing delivery, unless it can even be boring. They have to be good at communicating and sharing ideas to other people especially to their students. Therefore, good communication skill is also absolutely urgent in the class teaching activities.

Good communication skill is actually supported by the mental of the teachers themselves. What they do reflects on what they say. Obviously, they not only have wide knowledge and insight, but they also experience them. In other words, as teachers experience like what they have known, they share to the students using very strong good communication skill and also creating innovative and creative methods to make the instruction much more interesting.

For example:

An English teacher who has experienced in joining an English speech contest is much more attractive to teach English speaking rather than those who never at all.

In conclusion, based on their professions, all teachers very need these four aspects in all teaching activities they have in class; knowledge, experiences, good communication skill, and creativity.

Knowledge – Experiences – Good Communication Skill – Creativity
