4) Learners must know their school, their classes, and their students. In order to be successful in my lecture, learners need to be aware of their students reading skills on an individual basis as much as possible. As teachers, I am expecting that learners will come to my lecture with a caring attitude. Student reading scores are low, and as English teachers I am assuming they wish to change this.
