problems and give them the advice maybe there was some students having the problems
of the school fees, the problems of getting pregnant for the some of the girls

According to Nacino. Brown “the teacher is a spiritual director in
his ways he plays both the roll

is on the hands of the teacher”

the teacher is someone whose looking like a model in a societies and others
imitates from the teacher so students

TECHNIQUES
USED BY THE TEACHER DURING THE TEACHING ACTIVITIES
Question and answer methods.
This is the methods which teacher used during the periods of teaching he used
to ask questions to their students and
answer the questions which the children’s used to ask him or her so through
this participatory method the students improved well. and didn’t forget the
lesson and makes them become aware with the lessons.
Story telling methods;
can be defined as an art of using language vocalization and physical movement
and gestures which help teacher to reach his or her imagination she should be
able to supplement her story telling with audio visual aids, and by asking
developmental and other types of questions. This methods of teaching help in
attracting the attention of the pupils, also this methods makes the lesson
lovely and interesting to the pupils and also it was good way which is
participatory methods it makes the pupils to participate well in the lesson.

this is the participatory methods which the teachers used during teaching their
learners. in this methods the teacher introduce the lessons and give the
students discussing the lessons into their group discussions so through this
methods every students should participate and this methods help them to

is the participatory methods which teachers used during the teaching his or her
lesson there many types of reading methods this are like, chorale reading, in
this methods teacher and students read a story together and loud into their small
groups so through this kind help to builds reading comprehension and fluency.
Cued reading a teacher utilizes introduction discussion about a story before
reading this builds study comprehension and interest in
reading. Echo reading a teacher reads a
text, one sentences at a time as the
students follows a long the students then attempts to imitate the teacher this
technique build fluency and confidence in oral reading skills, group dynamic
reading, in this type the students and teacher take in turns in reading the
text at first the children follows what the teacher reads with their
fingers after this the students read
while the teacher listens this builds oral reading skills and fluency, silent
reading in this types students read silently
for specified period of time this methods build the confidence in
reading skills, but should only be used when students are ready.
Project methods;
is an activity that typically involves a current outlay of funds in expectation
of a stream of benefits extending far into future. This also is the
participatory methods the responsibility of teacher is to provide those
situations to the students where they should feel a sponteous urge to some of
their practical problems the teacher may converse with the class on different
topics of interest to them this methods enable the students to know about the long
term ,medium term, and short term of rural people of finance, enable students
know about the various agencies which provide
finance the rural areas and their merits and demerities, to enable the student
know about the various banking
operations and also they makes students to be self reliant confident and
independendent, makes students more research minded.
Dramatization methods;
is the acting of little plays is an effective device. it is not only a change
from the routine teaching but also a method to teach English the teacher can
select suitable extracts from the readers for dramatization but there should an
element of drama in them they provide for some interesting action and play, the
objectives of dramatization are to reinforce structures, provide for
conversational to create necessary background for effective learning ,and the
selection of short plays depends on pupils interests, their age group, and previous
knowledge. The role of the teacher for dramatization the teacher acts as the
director he should teach the actors to speak the dialoques properly to modulate
their voice, and he must give proper actions for acting their relies. Also he
can the entire play and the mental set up of each character such instructions
help them to play their roles and to appreciate the action of the drama. This
methods it provides ample opportunities for listening to colloquial English, pupils
can listen to dialoques and understand them. It enable students to play
different roles. Enable them to use colloquial languages in their daily
speaking and also pupils can learn art of acting.
Study tours methods;
is the methods which teachers used by travels from one area to another areas
for the aims of studies examples teachers when he or she wants to teach about
physical geography subjects in form three class he goes with the students to
the trips and studies many things like physical vegetations the plateaus,
meanders, about the rocks and others features or travelling to the national
parks, the industrials areas and also in the mining areas so through that participatory
methods students they enjoying an become happy.
CONCLUSION:-
I conclude in saying
that a teacher is not a preacher because a teacher is the one who is function
is to teach the students and he used different participatory methods in
teaching their students in order their subject to be understood well while the
preacher is someone whose preach the word of the gods to those believers the following are the methods used by the
teacher during learning activities this methods are like dramatization, storytelling,
debate, question and answer, reading project ,study tour and so on and also
teacher has the following roles first he was a facilitators, councilor, role model ,guider,
leader, advisor, manager, and also a communicator so in my opinions I
say it was true that a teachers is not a preacher due to the above mentioned.
