Professionalism
Rapport between students and teachers
It is really crucial to facilitate learning/acquisition and prevents behavioral problems
Interest and enthusiasm
Affective Filter Hypothesis:• It states that students must have a
risk‐free environment in which to acquire and learn a second language. The needs and emotional states of students will affect whether or not input to become readily available and comprehensible to them.
• How do we know all this is true?
• INTEGRALITY OF EDUCATION• In order to do so, great part of the teacher’s work consists of introducing and
guiding their students to the knowledge of a specific discipline and for that reason teachers should never stop studying and trying to get the latest contents and techniques which can allow them to get their objective: student’s learning. Even while worried about academic affairs, teachers must not lose sight of their double function: informative and formative, because when teachers take into account this Integrality, they just turn into the good educators who are interested in spreading scientific knowledge as well as values to create modify attitudes, ideas and habits according to the conception of the man, the world, the reality and society which draws the profile of the human ideal to whom we lead their students.
• • But it does not mean to impose teachers values or ideas because it would
contradict the freedom and critical thinking healthy perspective of Education prompts. It would mean to go back to the extremes and favour a sort of Imposed Education with fruitless results, because something forced has never created personal engagement. On the contrary, teachers are supposed to encourage their students to think about their behaviour and the values they want to get to make them be responsible of their own lives and their society.

It is not size … what counts !
The amygdala turns alert and literally kidnaps your brain when the affective filter is high. Then, it does capture all the glucose going around in this organ which in other circumstances would contribute your reflexive thought or response
Cognitive Skills related to Attitudes Teachers of all kinds are educators in all the levels and their performance is held in a
complex personal relationship in which both of them, teachers and students interact with many other elements of the reality.
The communication between T’s and S’s where messages of different nature (not only cognitive) are transmitted and received through words, but also through gestures, facial expressions and body language evidences teachers attitudes. As a consequence, students (specially school students) learn the content of an assignature and assume attitudes that are a clear response to their teachers.
This is when we need to remember that we are FORMING, not only instructing people.
These attitudes can be positive or negative depending on the teacher’s awareness of the Integrality of their double function. Teachers teach what they say and what they do (inside and outside the classroom).
