“…According to Arnon and Reichel (2007), the two main elements of ideal teachers are personal qualities and subject knowledge. In the study in which educational philosophers revealed various images of ideal teachers, supporting the cognitive development of students was identified as the main task of an ideal teacher (Gopal & Singh, 2020;Yunus et al, 2021). Ko and Sammons (2013) state that other important aspects include the current social, behavioral, and emotional goals and objectives of education.…”

There is no clear definition of what constitutes an ideal teacher educator, particularly from the perspective of Malaysian educators. Developing teacher educators’ vision of an ideal teacher ensures that teachers have high levels of professional, personal, and contextual dimensions in teaching practices, including competence in the practice of professional teaching, knowledge, and understanding. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find out the range of visions of what it is to be a good teacher educator in a Malaysian teacher education institution. Seventeen teacher educators from an established university in Malaysia participated in the study. A survey consisting of eight questions was used as the research instrument. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analysed by using descriptive and textual analysis techniques. The findings reveal certain criteria of an ideal teacher such as possessing sound subject matter knowledge, mastery of both generic and content-specific pedagogy, and hands-on teaching skills. The teacher educators shared that they have to adjust their goals to attain their vision, namely the need to adapt to the current policies, new ideas, and the ever-changing educational trends. The findings also show that an ideal teacher is the one who is responsible to nurture and bring about the best learning experience for students. This research has unfolded the teacher educators’ vision of the ideal teacher and pedagogical implications reflected in every facet of their educational practices.

The aim of the research is to develop models and modules for teaching English as a second language to weak learners. A qualitative research design was employed. Data were collected through classroom observations and focus-group interview with a group of students. Fifteen ESL learners, one ESL teacher and principal participated in the study. The learners are Form Three students in a private Islamic school in Malaysia. The students were given a total of five compositions to write. They wrote one composition each time the researchers visited them. The students were observed as they wrote. The problems they had were noted by the researchers. The observations made revealed the learners' weaknesses at writing compositions in English. A focus-group interview was made after each observation to probe further into their problems of learning English. An informal conversation was also conducted with the English Language teacher during each visit. While conducting the research it was discovered that the students who were interviewed became more and more interested in participating in the project. They became willing partners and they contributed valuable information in spite of their linguistic inadequacies. The regular visits seem to have endeared us to the principal, teacher and the students that they look forward to our visit. This paper describes the procedures taken to effectuate networking with the principal, teacher and the students. It analyses and discusses the factors that have contributed to this effective networking.
