I think learning and teaching are like the journey of traveling. Every individual has their own purpose of traveling and preferred traveling style. Likewise, every learner has their own learning styles with different learning goals. In addition, on the way to their destination, travelers can face a variety of unexpected situations, which sometimes make them change their initial itinerary. In the same way, learners can face unexpected difficulties in the classroom and the role of teachers is to help the learners overcome those difficulties and reach their initial goals. That is, the main goal of a teacher is to provide the learners with appropriate feedback for them to reach their destination. Therefore, I will focus on the role of a teacher as a facilitator through student-centered task based lesson plans and action research on the effect of proper teachers’ feedback.
