UFM Students’ perception of the importance of English teacher qualities in enhancing their English competence
Abstract
This mixed-method study sought to identify the qualities of English teachers that UFM students perceived to enhance their English learning. Interviews and surveys were used to collect qualitative and quantitative data from 152 UFM students of English Linguistics and other disciplines. Students reported 9 qualities perceived as significant factors that influenced their learning. Teacher’s English competence, ability to apply EFL teaching principles, ability to exploit teaching materials effectively, professional attributes, and personal attributes are believed to be more important than the others. The study also found that teachers’ knowledge of other English-speaking countries’ culture and teaching methodology are vitally important to those who major in English Linguistics while students of other majors put teachers’ understanding of other fields and their effective exploitation of teaching materials on the top priority.
