English Teacher's Perspective

Why I teach English

I too have loved reading since childhood and I too won a poetry competition when I was 15 which was definitely my creative peak. (Downhill ever since).

I love the way the written word can enable you to disappear into another world and the way studying language and literature can open your mind and make you question assumptions and think about the world critically.

Reading made me realise how powerful language is to make us feel or think differently and I believe that a mastery of language is a very empowering thing for everyone in so many areas of life. Good communication is such a valuable skill. These are the reasons I think teaching English is important.
