As a language learner-turned-teacher, I believe all language teachers should study another language\u2014especially with another teacher. There are numerous benefits to practicing what you preach, but I\u2019m going to cover just a few.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Teachers often find themselves in a sort of bubble: they\u2019re focused on leading their own classes and rarely see other teachers at work. Being part of a language class boots me out of my bubble and allows me to observe other teachers at work. I can see firsthand what I like and dislike about certain styles of teaching and I often get new ideas about what to do\u2014and sometimes more importantly, what not to do\u2014in my own classes. I had a particularly bad first-level German teacher who lectured too quickly and way too much, while his co-teacher was fantastic, giving us a variety of activities and challenging us just the right amount. Being a student in this situation brought my attention to the specific strengths and weaknesses of each approach.<\/li>\n
  2. As a student, you can observe other students more than you can as a teacher. Teachers should have a very active role in the classroom and it\u2019s not always possible to truly observe individual students. When I\u2019m not the one on the spot, as a teacher or being called on, it\u2019s often easier to notice different learning styles and think about how specific activities work for a general audience, plus consider how to adapt them for unique situations.<\/li>\n
  3. It\u2019s good to remind yourself how hard it is to learn a language. I\u2019m much more empathetic when I remember how overwhelming it is when you understand nothing at the beginning (especially with a new alphabet), and how frustrating it is during language-learning plateaus. And while I know that listening can be useful to absorb the cadence of a new language, I\u2019ve also seen the advantage of having a teacher force me to speak.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My teaching has certainly reaped the benefits of being a language student and I think every other language teacher can benefit as well. It\u2019s a great way to get new ideas, observe others and become more empathetic toward your students. If you\u2019re a teacher and you\u2019ve never studied a language with a teacher, I encourage you to do so. I know I\u2019m a much better language teacher from my experiences as a language student.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
