1. A supportive classroom climate is crucial for the students to learn. In a
supportive classroom climate, teachers create friendly and caring
environment. The teachers should display personal characteristics such
as: a cheerful disposition, friendliness, emotional maturity etc. The
teacher should consider about students feelings and display affection to
them. The teacher needs to consider from diverse perspective because
students come from different culture and family background.

The effective teacher needs to give sufficient time to prepare the learning
activities for the students. Most importantly, the teacher needs to think
how they can best utilize the time in the classroom. Teachers should not
waste time for non- academic thing in the classroom.

Reflection:

This article is absolutely helpful for the the teacher who wants to improve

their teaching skill and become an effective teacher. I have acquired

knowledge about different principles of effective teaching. After reading

this article, I think I have discovered my weakness and strengths. One of

my weaknesses is strategy teaching. I think it is because of my language

and accent, the students find hard to understand my instruction. While I

was teaching in practicum, I realized that my teaching strategy was poor

because I could not solve the problem effectively. The class became

chaotic when I tried to do group work. It happened frequently during

teaching practicum. From this article, I have learned that effective teacher

should model and instruct students in learning and self-regulation

strategies As a future teacher, I will improve this skill by practicing.
