The teachers teach a course of study or a
practical skill to the student. Teachers use
different techniques in order to enhance the
students’ learning. Students respond differently
to different methods of teaching. There are
many different ways to teach and help students
to learn. A teacher considers students'
background knowledge, environment, and their
learning goals when going to decide what
teaching method should be used.
