教師として最も大切なことの一つは、自分の指示に忠実にしたがった生徒が、英語の力がつくような指示を出すことだ。先生のことばを信じてしっかりノートをまとめていた女子生徒が３年経っても英語が使えない、のでは「サギ」も同然。
One of the most important things that you need to make sure as an English teacher is to give your students directions such that those who obediently follow them can indeed improve their command of English through your course. If, for example, a female student does everything you tell her to do, from solving all the questions in the workbook to neatly writing down Japanese translations in her notebook, only to find herself still unable to use English after one year of sitting in your course, you cannot complain if she calls you a fraud.
