While there are different student's learning styles, teachers have also different teaching styles that portrait their beliefs about teaching a new language. There are different teaching styles:
Formal authority: this style is teacher-centered. And it has been predominant among teachers who provide all the knowledge to students who having a passive role, receive it.
Demonstrator: This teaching style is teacher-centered as well. In this case, the teacher demonstrate the steps to follow in order to develop a certain activity. Then students, having mastered certain skills, perform a task or solve a problem.
Facilitator: This is a student-centered style. Teachers provide a wide variety of activities that require students to activily participate. This teaching style provides students with opportunities to develop their thinking skills and collaborative learning.
Delegator: This style is student-centered. Teachers assigned more responsability to students, therefore, students develop independent work habits and cooperative learninig takes place.
I believe I am a facilitator and a delegator. I like to bring my students many activities that trigger them to participate and improve their skills. I also like to assing my students projects and assingments that develop their independent work habits.
