Are You Engaging Your Students?

I remember I learned the above expression 'Are you engaging your students?' in conversation class some weeks ago. I have been taught it means 'Are you getting students' interest?'. I think that is the most important question which ask myself everytime to be a 'star teacher'. How about you? I know that all of our classmates are a star teacher.

Are you engaging your students?

My answer is yes or no.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
As you know, it`s very difficult to get their minds.
But I`ll give it a try.

"star teacher"?.... Should we be star teachers, That's another way of western thought. We are just teachers. i remember that we have star instructors in Seoul at the institutions. I NEVER want to be like those. What i want to be as a teacher is trying hard whatever i can handle and one thing i wish to keep in mind until the last day of teacher career is "I love students"
then, everything will be fine

Hi T.J.,
I like that expression about engaging your students. I think that it's something that all teachers will have to ask themselves as the world demands that our students learn more and more.

Hi, TJ!

In the past, I thought I was.
Now, I don't know. To be honest, sometimes I don't want to eagaging my students. The closer I come up to my students, the more challenging I feel.

Hi, TJ
On the last class picnic day, I was very impressed by what you said at the resturant.(hugging angry student until he became calm) I think you are engaging your students. Me? As a teacher, I'm not bad. My students like me. I usually make them happy through cheerful mood and bright smile.
Sometimes I give extraordinary affection to some students who are extraordinarilly handsome.hahaha!!
