Teacher as bus or taxi driver? Incorporating needs analysis

Teacher as bus or taxi driver? Incorporating needs analysis
Elizabeth Hollis-Watts (Bell International Institute)
A “bus driver” teacher takes students on a fixed route. In contrast, a “taxi driver”
teacher takes students where they need to go. This workshop explores why the
teacher’s understanding of each learner’s individual needs should redirect the focus
of the class. It also considers how to manage a constantly changing group in an
atmosphere of continuous enrolment.
