Shaunwilden 12:02 PM Ok so how many of you are performers ;-) #eltchat

esolcourses 12:03 PM RT @Shaunwilden: Ok so how many of you are performers ;-) #eltchat ] mea culpa, from time to time :-)
OUPELTGlobal 12:03 PM Hello everyone, looking forward to another eltchat #eltchat
prese1 12:03 PM what do you mean by performers? #eltchat
teflgeek 12:04 PM First you have to know your audience before deciding what role to play #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:04 PM @Shaunwilden nope, never managed it. Am a planner, and kind of hopes that counts with students #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:04 PM @esolcourses Well we all play to the crowd from time to time :-)  #eltchat

OUPELTGlobal 12:05 PM intriguing topic, how did it come up?  #eltchat
teflerinha 12:05 PM RT @teflgeek: First you have to know your audience before deciding what role to play #eltchat
teflerinha 12:05 PM @esolcourses Yes, there is an element- Need to put on my teacher 'hat'- but still think students should be centre stage #eltchat
Marisa_C 12:05 PM Are we talking about performance teaching or something else? #eltchat
jo_cummins 12:05 PM @Shaunwilden definitely - it's the adrenaline that keeps me going on days when I feel unwell, tired, etc #eltchat
jo_cummins 12:06 PM @teflerinha I think that is true, you deinitely shouldn't be the star perfomer anyway! #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:06 PM RT @Marisa_C: Are we talking about performance teaching or something else? #eltchat
Wiktor_K 12:06 PM I've always been a performer in class - outside of work, I rarely acted the way I did in the classroom. #eltchat
Marisa_C 12:06 PM Good afternoon to all from Athens, Greece #ELTchat
esolcourses 12:06 PM @teflerinha yes, agree. I think having a drama degree or performance background helps with the confidence side of things, too #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:06 PM I'm very suspicious of this word 'performer'. Would never want to be one of those in the classroom, I think. #eltchat
teflerinha 12:06 PM @jo_cummins @Shaunwilden #eltchat Can relate to adrenaline, but 4 me that's more about being in 'flow'
TeacherJanelle 12:07 PM RT @ShellTerrell: TESOL Webinar – SCANdalous Learning with Quick Response Codes http://t.co/2ESXs5gy #esl #eltchat
teflerinha 12:07 PM @esolcourses Yes, agreed, but biggest crossover for me from drama degree is accepting criticism on my 'performance'. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:07 PM @theteacherjames i agree #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:07 PM RT @theteacherjames: I'm very suspicious of this word 'performer'. Would never want to be one of those in the classroom, I think. #eltchat
teflgeek 12:07 PM @theteacherjames agree - not so much performance, but putting your "game face" on #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:08 PM RT @Julian_LEnfant: @Shaunwilden How about conductor? :) #eltchat
esolcourses 12:08 PM @theteacherjames might help to think of it in terms of presentation skills and classroom management instead then, perhaps? #eltchat
teflerinha 12:08 PM RT @SophiaKhan4: @theteacherjames Yes different to be a performer and to simply have a 'teaching personality' separate from your persona ...
teflerinha 12:08 PM @jo_cummins Yes, not an Alan Bennett monologue ;) #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:08 PM Are we talking "performance" as entertainment value in the classroom?  #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:08 PM @theteacherjames Yes different to be a performer and to simply have a 'teaching personality' separate from your personal one #eltchat
esolcourses 12:09 PM @teflerinha yes, there is an element of that to it, I suppose.  Having audience participation skills as well perhaps, too? #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:09 PM @theteacherjames might help to think of it in terms of presentation skills and classroom management instead then, perhaps? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:09 PM @OUPELTGlobal  Not sure - what the topic setter meant #eltchat
teflerinha 12:09 PM @Shaunwilden @Julian_LEnfant #eltchat Prefer director to conductor bcos lot of director's work is offstage #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:09 PM RT @teflgeek: @theteacherjames agree - not so much performance, but putting your "game face" on #eltchat
esolcourses 12:10 PM RT @theteacherjames: @teflgeek I think the danger comes when performance becomes more important than teaching. #eltchat ] goo dpoint, James
teflerinha 12:10 PM @esolcourses Yes, you need to be able to communicate with a group, which is a difficult skill in itself #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:10 PM @Shaunwilden @OUPELTGlobal "Imposter syndrome" - feeling like you are a fake and not a "real teacher", never qualified enough? #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:10 PM @teflgeek I think the danger comes when performance becomes more important than teaching. #eltchat
esolcourses 12:10 PM RT @teflerinha: @Shaunwilden @Julian_LEnfant #eltchat Prefer director to conductor bcos lot of director's work is offstage #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:10 PM @teflerinha @Julian_LEnfant though a conductor does bring people in,  allows instruments to be highlighted etc #eltchat
teflerinha 12:11 PM RT @Shaunwilden: @theteacherjames @teflgeek  Gosh agreeing again - yes those that entertain s/times miss the teaching point #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:11 PM @SophiaKhan4 I'm not sure my teaching personality is different than my personal one. I think I'm a better teacher for being myself. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:11 PM @theteacherjames @teflgeek  Gosh agreeing again - yes those that entertain s/times miss the teaching point #eltchat
Marisa_C 12:11 PM @Shaunwilden I am confused as well - everyone is talking abt performing in class but is it abt keeping up performances ????? #eltchat
AlexandraKouk 12:11 PM RT @OUPELTGlobal: Are we talking "performance" as entertainment value in the classroom?  #eltchat
teflgeek 12:11 PM @theteacherjames when it becomes style over substance #eltchat
Wiktor_K 12:11 PM perform always meant "function" for me - I did/said things with an effect in mind. #eltchat
Marisa_C 12:12 PM Like looking professional - dress code, distance or not to Ss?? Not sure #ELTchat is the topic setter here to explain please?
esolcourses 12:12 PM @theteacherjames @teflgeek delivering an entertaining, fun lesson doesn't necessarily equate to the students learning very much... #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:12 PM @theteacherjames I'm more "serious and professional" than I feel like I am in real life (bumbling idiot) #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:12 PM @esolcourses That would be a positive spin on it, yes. I think performance could get in the way of them though. #eltchat
cybraryman1 12:12 PM All the world's a stage,
Shaunwilden 12:12 PM @Marisa_C So how do you interpret it? #eltchat
RichGresswell 12:13 PM The man who sold the world by #Nirvana http://t.co/v9uYnQuN #elt #eltchat #esl #esol #literacy #subtitles
Wiktor_K 12:13 PM @cybraryman1 "...and one man in his time plays many parts." Hear, hear! #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:13 PM @teflgeek Exactly. #eltchat
RichGresswell 12:14 PM sorry Shaun - just noticed the time - apologies #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:14 PM @Shaunwilden @OUPELTGlobal Oops sorry wrong topic! Some crossover perhaps! #eltchat
teflerinha 12:14 PM @theteacherjames @SophiaKhan4 #eltchat Not different, but I'm more confident in classroom w/ ls than I am with gps of people in real life
prese1 12:14 PM There are days I feel gloomy but try to hide it. That's performing! #eltchat
Julian_LEnfant 12:14 PM #ELTchat We can train & develop a teacher's teaching ability/knowledge, but coaxing personality out of someone is soooo hard.
Shaunwilden 12:14 PM @RichGresswell Please only tweet stuff relevant to #eltchat during chat times
Shaunwilden 12:14 PM @Marisa_C Oh i never saw it that way but yes i guess that comes into it as well #eltchat
akhssass 12:15 PM @ELTchat  hello
teflerinha 12:15 PM @jo_cummins That there's no work in theatre ? ;) #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:15 PM RT @prese1: There are days I feel gloomy but try to hide it. That's performing! #eltchat

esolcourses 12:15 PM @theteacherjames  depends on how you view it, I suppose.  using performance skills to motivate & interest s's can be productive...#eltchat
jo_cummins 12:15 PM there does seem to be a LOT of people with a drama backgound in teaching - what does that say? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:15 PM @prese1 Aye we always have to paint the smile on :-) #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:15 PM @esolcourses @Shaunwilden @teflgeek The idea that everyone must have fun & I always have to be 'engaging' seems a distraction to me #eltchat
Marisa_C 12:15 PM Another way:  'performance teaching' which suggests T at centre stage prancing around being exciting vs quiet, laid back #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 12:16 PM RT @teflgeek: My interpretation of the question is balancing learner needs, wants and expectations. #eltchat
esolcourses 12:16 PM @theteacherjames  ...however, it's important not to lose sight of the fact that lesson focus shd B what s's want/need, & are doing #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:16 PM @theteacherjames and unnecessary pressure. Difficult to be entertaining to all, all the time  #eltchat
teflerinha 12:16 PM @theteacherjames @esolcourses @Shaunwilden @teflgeek #eltchat Yes, engaging, surely doesn't have to mean party time?
teflgeek 12:16 PM My interpretation of the question is balancing learner needs, wants and expectations. #eltchat

Marisa_C 12:16 PM Or how do we balance performance teaching with quiet laid back learner-centred moments? #ELTchat - sorry all am wondering myself
theteacherjames 12:16 PM @SophiaKhan4 Well if it works for you, it's fine. I guess what I'm trying to get at is honesty & performance suggests the opposite. #eltchat
teflerinha 12:17 PM @Julian_LEnfant Agreed. Much easier the other way round- but it can help novice teachers to put on persona (even if not 'honest') #eltchat
teflgeek 12:17 PM @teflerinha @theteacherjames depends context though surely?  Private lang   young learner lessons different from post-grad EAP #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:17 PM @esolcourses Oh yes, I'm not against drama techniques for example, it's specifically this idea of performance that bothers me. #eltchat
esolcourses 12:17 PM RT @teflerinha: @theteacherjames @esolcourses @Shaunwilden @teflgeek #eltchat Yes, engaging, surely doesn't have to mean party time? ] agree
Shaunwilden 12:18 PM @theteacherjames I agree with the 'fun' part - it's a word that always winds me up in observations!  #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:18 PM @teflerinha @esolcourses @Shaunwilden @teflgeek Absolutely, sts can be engaged in quiet,  hard work! #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:19 PM @teflgeek Fine but when a teacher says ok lets do this cos its fun - I always say (under my breath) fun for whom #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:19 PM @OUPELTGlobal Unrealistic and unnecessary. #eltchat

teflgeek 12:19 PM @kerrileebarrett @Shaunwilden students come to our school precisely because we are "more fun" than the competition / state school #eltchat
teflgeek 12:20 PM @Shaunwilden true, fun is subjective, and you always hope the learners learn something as well as having fun #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:20 PM @teflgeek @teflerinha Context is always king in our business! Drama can be useful, but not mandatory. #eltchat
esolcourses 12:20 PM @theteacherjames as a drama grad maybe I'm coming at this from another angle, but many ppl I know adopt a 'teacher persona'... #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:20 PM @teflgeek I understand this, but I always felt it was pressure to "perform" rather than teach #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:21 PM @Shaunwilden I'm okay with 'motivating' or 'enagaging', but 'fun'? Only in small doses! #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:21 PM RT @teflgeek: @Shaunwilden true, fun is subjective, and you always hope the learners learn something as well as having fun #eltchat
teflerinha 12:21 PM @esolcourses @theteacherjames Yes, I think at least when u start teaching a 'persona' can be very helpful. Fake it til you make it? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:21 PM RT @jo_cummins: @Shaunwilden @theteacherjames not about fun so much as setting a tone #eltchat
Wiktor_K 12:21 PM Fun is 1 thing, convention another. Nobody is born an ELT teacher / student / DoS - all these roles meet in school and all perform. #eltchat
jo_cummins 12:21 PM @Shaunwilden @theteacherjames not about fun so much as setting a tone #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:21 PM @theteacherjames Think some performer teachers are still honest - big (annoying?) personalities that sweep all sts along with them #ELTchat
kevchanwow 12:21 PM As teachers we serve as the defacto communicative model for our students. That's going to require putting on a hat now and then. #ELTchat
SophiaKhan4 12:22 PM @teflerinha @esolcourses @theteacherjames Yes. Feel like I am still faking it 17 years on but still. #Eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:22 PM @mrmohammedsheha Haha, way to sell the drill :-) #eltchat
Julian_LEnfant 12:22 PM #ELTchat Don't we also play to our strengths? I was possibly more fun as a younger inexperienced teacher but have more substance now.
teflgeek 12:22 PM @OUPELTGlobal I think I felt that in China a bit - less so in Europe.  #eltchat
teflerinha 12:22 PM @kevchanwow You'd know all about putting on hats ... ;) #eltchat
mrmohammedsheha 12:22 PM @Shaunwilden @teflgeek I saw a vid 4 a teacher who was doing a drill&he said well I know it's boring but let's try one more time!!! #eltchat
esolcourses 12:22 PM @theteacherjames as a means of keeping a professional distance, etc... there are other professions (i.e. barristers) do similarly #eltchat
theteacherjames 12:23 PM @SophiaKhan4 I agree, but then it's not really a performance, that's what they are really like! #ELTchat
Shaunwilden 12:23 PM @Julian_LEnfant So by implication then a newish teacher plays on the fun factor? #eltchat
ESLBarry 12:23 PM @kevchanwow Says the man in the hat. #ELTChat

teflerinha 12:23 PM RT @esolcourses: @teflerinha @theteacherjames LOL! Not necessarily fake it, but maybe project a larger than life, more confident version ...
OUPELTGlobal 12:23 PM @Julian_LEnfant an interesting point - fun as opposed to substance #eltchat
Yohimar 12:23 PM @esolcourses @teflerinha @theteacherjames @Shaunwilden Todays topic is about performance teaching but what is it? I wonder #ELTchat
esolcourses 12:23 PM @teflerinha @theteacherjames LOL! Not necessarily fake it, but maybe project a larger than life, more confident version of self? #ELTchat
theteacherjames 12:23 PM @esolcourses I think that can be useful, but I think it has to be honest & based on the real person to enable true rapport. #eltchat
teflgeek 12:23 PM @mrmohammedsheha always fatal to label your activities boring!  #eltchat  but interesting question - how much fun is just dressing stuff up?
kevchanwow 12:24 PM Being warm & positive in class.  it can mean being less than 100% sincere. But being 100% professional requires it at times #ELTchat
teflgeek 12:24 PM @Shaunwilden @Julian_LEnfant I know I did!  Back in the day... #eltchat
teflerinha 12:24 PM @jo_cummins @esolcourses @theteacherjames Me too :) #eltchat
esolcourses 12:24 PM RT @theteacherjames I think that can be useful, but I think it has to be honest & based on the real person to enable true rapport. #eltchat
jo_cummins 12:24 PM @teflerinha @esolcourses @theteacherjames my teaching 'persona' is just me on a good day! I'm more confident in class than outside #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:25 PM @teflerinha Yes  and often seems to be what they actually want looking at feedback . #eltchat
esolcourses 12:25 PM @jo_cummins @teflerinha @theteacherjames same here :) & If I'm having a bad day or feeling ill, it's still business as usual ... :) #eltchat
teflgeek 12:25 PM is a teaching performance just shedding / putting aside the detritus of the day so it doesn't negatively affect your classes? #eltchat
teflerinha 12:25 PM #eltchat But some teachers do very well just on fun and personality- even if they aren't teaching much, very popular w/ ss #gofigure
prese1 12:25 PM It would be difficult for an quiet person to be an extrovert in class. #eltchat

teflgeek 12:26 PM @teflerinha I hate observing teachers like that.... #eltchat

Marisa_C 12:31 PM @kevchanwow possibly why teaching can be seen to have a healing effect ? :-)  #eltchat
kevchanwow 12:31 PM @Marisa_C @prese1 very much agree. When I keep my mouth shut, but keep my heart open, students rush to fill the space with language #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:31 PM @yearinthelifeof @teflerinha @teflgeek yes - some sts see this & some don't though.Many not satisfied with a hardworking 'boring' T #eltchat
jo_cummins 12:31 PM @yearinthelifeof @teflerinha @teflgeek sadly student's don't always notice this difference! #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal 12:31 PM A good teacher needs to perform to a certain degree but I hope teaching goes beyond that #eltchat
mrmohammedsheha 12:31 PM @esolcourses @teflerinha Those Popular teacher dt follow objectives and they put other teachers in unfair comparisons in S's mind! #eltchat
Shaunwilden 12:32 PM @pysproblem81 Yes i think there is a nice overlap . #eltchat
yearinthelifeof 12:32 PM @teflerinha @teflgeek Students can spot the difference as well if not better than your average DoS #ELTchat (used 'average' in every sense)
pysproblem81 12:32 PM @Shaunwilden I think one topic can lead to the other quite easily! #eltchat
AlexandraKouk 12:32 PM Teacher as a performer - useful analysis : http://t.co/WauBjZOA #eltchat
teflgeek 12:32 PM @SophiaKhan4 @yearinthelifeof @teflerinha I see no problem in telling learners I'm having a tough day - they know what to expect! #eltchat
muranava 12:32 PM as long as keep learning objective in mind "performance", "being a gd laugh" tweaks/hacks useful #eltchat
teflerinha 12:32 PM @Shaunwilden @pysproblem81 Duly noted ;) #eltchat

teflerinha 12:33 PM @teflgeek @SophiaKhan4 @yearinthelifeof To a degree, but ideally we r a 'clear channel' for learning & our stuff can get in the way #eltchat
pysproblem81 12:33 PM #eltchat Does anyone think straight-up honesty is essential, positive or risky?
Shaunwilden 12:34 PM @teflerinha a form of attack?  #eltchat
teflgeek 12:34 PM @yearinthelifeof @teflerinha true, but a lot of students (teens) just want an easy life and like avoiding the real work #eltchat
teflerinha 12:34 PM @pysproblem81 #eltchat That depends on reasons for 'honesty' w/ stds. Sometimes it's essential, sometimes it's a form of attack.

teflgeek 12:35 PM RT @yearinthelifeof: @teflgeek @SophiaKhan4 @teflerinha - treat them like humans and the will reciprocate #ELTchat that's the theory!
Shaunwilden 12:36 PM @teflerinha Aha got yer. I meant honesty more as being oneself, admitting when i dont know sth etc etc  #eltchat
teflgeek 12:36 PM @teflerinha again - depends on how you handle it / what you say.  Most students will be sympathetic #eltchat
teflgeek 12:37 PM @teflerinha hence the performance?  #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 12:37 PM @teflerinha @Shaunwilden Personally I think some distance is good, & sometimes I can't & shouldn't say to sts exactly what I think #eltchat
esolcourses 12:37 PM @esolcourses @jo_cummins @teflerinha maybe we should be viewing this in terms of 'performance skills' rather than performing then? #eltchat

teflerinha 12:37 PM @teflgeek Yes, of course. I don't think we should b robots- just that it's better not 2 let stuff get in the way of the interaction #eltchat
teflgeek 12:37 PM @OUPELTGlobal not always - that's my point.  I've observed classes where 40% of the class didn't say a thing all lesson.  #eltchat

teflerinha 12:38 PM @Shaunwilden #eltchat That's the essential part of being honest ;) Agree, putting up a facade isn't good.
EBEFL 12:38 PM @teflerinha I did a bit of drama and it comes in useful at times...voice, posture how to stand etc #eltchat

teflerinha 12:39 PM @teflgeek #eltchat Getting very esoteric.. but not so much performance as being really 'real'- not all the surface 'noise' that gets in way.

akhssass 12:44 PM @ELTchat Ask all students to vote on a question you put to the class with two or more possible answers.
