Is teaching a craft or a science?

What areas of “scientific knowledge” do you think teachers of a foreign language ought to be familiar with?

A1: First, I think teaching is a craft. For me, I always think  that Laguage is a kind of tool for using.  If we can use it as a second language, we can use it as possible as we can. But science, it seems like another “level” of some people who study language.

Or, using language as a tool but learning it scientially.

A2: I think Grammar is a kind of scientific knowledge. Any langauge has it grammar to use. In Chinese, we also need to learn the grammar of writining.  Grammar learning is one of the important parts in Learning lanuage.

My education belief, I think there is no stupid student in class. Everyone has talent in learning, and the students need a good learning environment and good parents. Most important of all, students need a good teacher who can lead them to the right way for learning. In my learning experience, I am not a good student in the courses. Fortunately, the teacher I met who helped me to learn how to be a student, even I can not be a superior student in courses. I usually think, if I can be a teacher, I will help my student to have a love of learning. I will get more responsbility in teaching. In the past, I am not  the student that teachers always pattention to, I am not superior. So, I will  try my best to ” make equall” atmosphere in class. As possible asI can, I hope I can do my best to help students to learn not only for” test” but being the student who loves to read.
