Listen to the text. Be ready to give it’s the short summary.

Think and do

I.Concentrate on Quintilian's recommendations to teachers.

Comment upon them.

Quintilian, the prominent Roman schoolmaster, wrote in his "Institutes Oratory",

published about 95 AD the following about a teacher and his work: "Let him be free

from vice himself. Let him be strict but not austere, kind but not too familiar: for

austerity will make him unpopular, while familiarity breeds contempt. He must

control his temper without shutting his eyes to faults requiring correction. His

instruction must be free from affection, his industry must be ready to answer

questions and to put them unasked to those who are silent. In praising the answers of

his pupils he must be neither grudging nor overgenerous. In correcting faults he must

avoid sarcasm and above all abuse to discourage industry."

II.Discuss the following questions:

1)Say if you agree with Quintilian's words about the teachers work, try to prove

your point.

2)You know that very much depends on one's first teacher. Try to recall what your

first teacher was like.

You are a participant of an international conference, which considers dif ferent

problems of teaching. You are to make a report on the work of teachers in this

country. You should be ready to answer all kinds of questions.
