Quoting Trudy: Quoting janissary: teaching and translating are different things. you can translate something very well but it s not same with teaching a language. if it was easy there wouldnt be any teachers school. especially if you are teaching ur language to a foreigner it s more difficult because you have to speak his or her language very well. some friends think that our comments are childish but just respect to teachers it s not easy as you think. bülent can help ppl, we try to help too but we are not teacher. on TC there are some good teachers they show there teaching ability with their lessons like qdemir and erdinç (I havent seen him online for along time, I dont know why), I think they have proved theirselves and some other members I cant remember now. |
True that there is a big difference between translating and teaching. But it is absolutely not necessary that you speak the language of your students to be a good teacher. I'm a language teacher for more than 10 years now, I teach my language to students (adults!) of more than 20 nationalities. Do you think I can speak all those languages fluently? In fact, speaking the language of your student is more a disadvantage than an advantage because there is the risk you stick with just translating instead of explaining. The best way of learning a language is what teachers call 'take a bath in it' - only that language and nothing else. It is also the most difficult way, especially when you do not live in the country of your chosen language. |
Trudy, I completely aggree with your opinion about the method for teaching a language to foreigners. Even I can say, it is not an opinion but a rule in modern languge teaching techniques to use target language while you teach it in classroom or wherever. It seems to hard in the beginning specially for the new learners, but then this method makes the students learn faster. An experienced English teacher takes the teaching materials like 'Headway' with him/her and goes to different countries where he/she doesn't know the local language but teachs English perfectly. So, it is the same with all language teachers. In Turkey, The TÖMERS are the experts with Turkish language centers. If you go to that centers you will see that the teachers use only Turkish while their teaching and as we know, these language centers are very successful.

If you feel there is a problem with someone's posts, send a PM to admin. I am so sick of you all complaining about eachother. This culture of rudeness and aggressiveness at TC seems like it will be a permanent fixture, and its a sad fact that many have stopped coming here because of it.
Do you think anyone who loves Turkey would be swayed in their opinions by his posts? Instead of whining about his posts, why not present a good argument against his statements?

So go and defend them But I will DEFEND people's right to speak what they feel!! Do you REALLY want a censored site where only GOOD things can be said about your country? There is good and bad in everything - Turkey included, but as this is a Turkish Language site, naturally the discussions will mostly be about Turkey. Why do you take such offence? None of us are saying our countries are necessarily better, but it is TURKEY we are discussing here.
(did I really just say "there is good and bad in everything" - lyrics from Ebony and Ivory I believe hahahaha) Offfffff time to go to bed

I know very well the difference between saying a simple opinion and insulting people. I believe in human rights too. But no one can have such a right to judge all of a nation. Didn't you see what he says in his posts about all Turkish man? Are we, all Turkish men, some kind of lunatic, sexual maniac?
What these sentences belongs to him mean to you. Are they just simple opinions?
