Students’ Perception of Applying Teacher-in-Role during English Learning Process: A Descriptive Study of Middle School Students

“…Teachers have a role in managing the problem and finding ways to solve the students' difficulties (Annisa et al, 2021). The teacher is a bridge for students to help them face challenges and issues in teaching and learning.…”

Teachers’ Roles on English Language Teaching for Promoting Learner-Centered Language Learning: A Theoretical Review

“…Becoming a participant and resource provider demands flexibility in instructional methods and materials (Annisa, Saragih, & Bancin, 2021). Teachers may struggle to transition from the comfort of a directive approach to a more collaborative role, and resource constraints can limit their ability to tailor materials to diverse student needs (Brown & Lee, 2015).…”

“…In enhancing the efficacy of ELT, teachers sometimes need to engage with students as participants rather than organizers. This approach not only affords students the opportunity to communicate with someone possessing advanced proficiency in the target language but also provides teachers with valuable insights into students' English language learning progress (Annisa, Saragih, & Bancin, 2021). Acting as participants allows teachers to more equally connect with students, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas that contributes to a lively learning atmosphere.…”

“…Within the variety of roles carried by ELT teachers, that of a monitor and evidence gatherer emerges as integral to effective teaching. During communicative tasks, teachers attentively observe classroom activities, not only to ensure students follow assigned tasks but also to collect valuable information about their verbal interactions (Annisa, Saragih, & Bancin, 2021). This monitoring function serves as a foundation for informed decision-making, enabling teachers to measure the appropriate level of feedback required.…”

“…In addition, the teacher's role as a participant enhances learner-centered language learning by fostering interactive and dynamic educational environments. Active participation in discussions alongside students models language use, encouraging active participation and ownership of learning (Brown & Lee, 2015;Annisa, Saragih, & Bancin, 2021). The investigator's role, through meticulous observation and adaptation of teaching methods, promotes autonomy and active student involvement in shaping their language learning journey (Pianta & Hamre, 2009;Annisa, Saragih, & Bancin, 2021).…”
