UTILITY OF TRANSFERABLE SKILLS<br />

ONE FACE, YET TWO PHASES<br />

Every teacher is at least two sided, but never double-sided: this is<br />

my belief. It all depends on the observer, or so to say, the listener.<br />

From the first day of my career as a teacher, I am at least two faced: the<br />

artistic or the innovative on the one hand, and the duty-bound on the<br />

other. The first I call THE GLADIATOR, and the second THE TRANSFORMER.<br />

ANALYSIS OF TRANSFERABLE, LANGUAGE & TECHNICAL SKILLS<br />

A teacher is a born gladiator, in the sense that he enthuses, inspires and<br />

improvises his art so that his listeners are transfixed to his activity. This<br />

automatic transfix becomes the rudiment for the learners’ trust which<br />

works for the fluidity of the activities.<br />

THE TWO PHASES<br />

I have two faces: the preface, ie., the one before the beginning of the class session and<br />

the second the preface, ie., the one after the class session. Between these two ends is<br />

the placement of the learning session when prepared lessons are transformed into<br />

practically learner-centered activities, which in turn account for the learners’ behavioral<br />

transformation. This very process transforms all my preparations into being a<br />

functionally ace tool, there by bestowing me with enduring bliss.<br />

This is the preface to the conspectus of my career and education.<br />

THE TRANSFORMER<br />

A teacher is equally a transformer in the sense that he initiates the process<br />

of behavioral change in his learners- which is the very definition of<br />

education. He performs his duties as per his employer’s expectationswithout<br />

either sacrificing the goals of education in general or compromising<br />

the extent of the subject that he is expected to impart.<br />

MY ROLES<br />

Apart from being a teacher, I have been a curriculum developer, a lesson<br />

planner, a columnist, an administrator, an editor and an author. But above<br />

all, I believe, I am a life-time learner and the lessons that I learn both from<br />

the inside and outside of the classroom have always been shared among<br />

the multitudes of learners arrayed before me.

CONTENTS<br />

This is how it unfolds….


Educational<br />

Philosophy<br />

Throughout my career, I have always believed in what my high school<br />

teacher in Physics used to quote what Einstein said: “Education is that<br />

which remains, when one forgets what he has learnt at school.” These<br />

words always lie at the bottom of every activity that I have taken up so far<br />

and would take up here after. However, when I re-quote these words, I<br />

don’t intend to determine that we forget what we have learnt at school.<br />

Later, I learnt the true meaning of education, when I read William Blake,<br />

who said:<br />

“How can a bird that is born for joy<br />

Sit in a cage and sing?<br />

How can a child when fears annoy<br />

But droop his tender wing<br />

And forget his youthful spring?” and cemented my beliefs as a teacher.<br />

I believe that each learner is Nature’s true manifestation of the divine<br />

wisdom, and so has the inward radiance that can enlighten the whole<br />

world. The only pre-requisite is that the learner should be able to realize<br />

his/her inner potential, which can be made possible only by an able<br />

teacher. Hence the teaching learning environs should be secure, caring,<br />

and stimulating not only to the learners but also to the teacher. Learners’<br />

emotional, intellectual, physical, and social needs when nurtured with<br />

much care yield such fruits, the taste of which provides a great stimulus to<br />

the learners first and to the society in the long run. With this faith in my<br />

nerves, I begin every session in the learner-centered and interactive<br />

pedagogy (LCIP) system. For a language teacher like me LCIP system gives<br />

the very impetus to work with.<br />

Initially when I chose the profession of teaching – a hereditary profession<br />

of our family- I have visualized myself not just as a teacher, but in three<br />

other roles: a guide, an idealist and an arouser of curiosity. As a teacher<br />

for more than a decade and a half, I have realized that an able teacher is a<br />

mixture of all the three above roles. As a guide, I never compel my<br />

learners to believe me as their primary source of information, but rather<br />

provide access to information.<br />

As an idealist, apart from setting myself as an example to them, I lay before my<br />

learners the accepted social norms and show them how to uphold them; for, I<br />

believe learners have greater respect for their teachers, their peers, and the<br />

lessons presented when they feel safe and sure of what is expected of them. In<br />

setting fair and consistent rules initially and stating the importance of every<br />

activity, learners are shown respect for their presence and time. In turn they<br />

learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.<br />

Conclusively, as a curiosity arouser, I believe in developing a curriculum around<br />

learners’ interests because it fosters intrinsic motivation and stimulates their<br />

passion to learn, which in turn manifests in discoveries: in numerous instances<br />

could I discover new ideas in the presence of my learners!<br />

Thus I discovered that an able teacher is quite different from a mere<br />

educationist. It is true that teaching provides me with an opportunity for<br />

continual learning and growth, but I have realized that I shouldn’t be a mere<br />

knowledge-filler. It is important for students to not only receive a solid education,<br />

but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their, individual<br />

needs. I am such a person and will always try my best to discharge my latent<br />

talent towards this goal. I never believe in the existence of competition of any<br />

type, but in collaborative work. Also, I keep trying to model my own love of<br />

learning to my learners.<br />

Although I had been a writer of books, a columnist, a musician and a painter, I<br />

love above all to teach, to learn in the presence of my learners and conglomerate<br />

my experiences with their innocence: the very essence of my life. Case-based<br />

teaching along with such lively activities like group discussions, classroom<br />

presentations, and debating is what I choose to stimulate intellectual<br />

camaraderie, argumentation, and cooperative problem solving, thereby laying<br />

the groundwork for their life-long collaborative practice. Their latent or dormant<br />

apprehensions are subdued when they are in groups and the activity becomes a<br />

conflagration of multisided creativity, the radiance of which can inspire others<br />

too. Consequently, when their apprehensions die away, I wonder when they are<br />

creative, laugh when they are jocular, sympathize when they are at dismay,<br />

exemplify when they are at their wit’s end and rectify when they err, thus uniting<br />

my world with theirs. This unification has made me more sociable even in multilinguistic<br />

and multicultural environs than one can anticipate from a foreign<br />

teacher.<br />

These measures together with a touch nearer to perfection have consolidated my<br />

image only as a teacher: I can’t but imagine myself as a teacher. What I believe<br />

till my last breath is that I am born only for teaching.<br />
