I totally agree that there is no place for sarcasm in a language class. I would also like to add that there is no place for shaming learners either for much the same reasons.
Even more than this I always tell my students not to say "sorry". They don't need to be sorry for their mistakes because I am there to help them. If they didn't need help, they wouldn't need me. Also, I invite them to ask as many questions as possible.
So true & a good teacher will engage even the reluctant learners. I love that final quote: a reminder to be kind both in and out of the classroom. Thank you.
Hi Jo. You look fantastic. No dark sarcasm in the classroom. Teachers leave the kids alone.' Do you think Pink Floyd had anything to do with Teacher training?
Sometimes it just slips out. I remember muttering some offhand remark about a scene in a video I had shown students. I actually thought they wouldn't pick up on my sarcasm, but the sniggering around the lecture hall suggests otherwise.
My teacher training school and my colleagues in school are the reason I dress less uniquely, stopped dreaming and gave up so much about myself that I don't know how to get it back. They were demotivating, non-appreciative, hypercritical AND sarcastic.
Good stuff! Useful insight for all teachers but I guess when sarcasm used in a proper way, can it hurt anyone. You know, in almost all classes there are a few naughty and indisciplined students and they always make noise or break the lesson. It's very tough to discipline or control those noisy students and How about using sarcasm against them as a punishment. Why they loved making noises and talking much, doesn't anymore. May you be the reason to use sarcasm towards them and they will stop behaving badly and nastily. In my opinion sarcasm when used in the right and proper way could be a cure and remedy. I mean as a punishment against naughty and indisciplined students. As for excessive use of sarcasm only does harm and damage. On this point I fully agree with you. I appreciate that. Thumbs up! Cheers!
@@FayziyevFirdavs I’m certainly no expert in the discipline field (it’s the min reason I’ve stayed in adult education for my whole career) but I don’t think sarcasm is great even for those difficult learners.

That’s nice 😀
I agree with you totally. You are absolutely right

It is so important to always bear this in mind, no matter what. And the image with the message at the end is so powerful! Thank you, Jo!!!
