Being a good teacher is a challenging thing. There are a lot of responsibilities that should be taken into account. The professional teacher requires continuous development; therefore, how to teach effectively so that the students can reach maximum learning achievement should be put as the highest priority for the teachers. However, it is assumed that it is not all teachers hold the principle. Some teachers just do the teaching as their routine or their job without any effort for developing their professionalism. It was discovered that most of English language teachers in Asia use grammatical-translation method as his or her teaching method (Paul, 2003). The teachers seemingly do not care much about the purpose of language learning itself and there is no real interaction in the classroom. It is assumed that the definition of a good teacher itself is still not clear and internalized well enough by the teacher since it seems every teacher has his or her own believes and perspectives to define what they are all about. There are many terms that tell what a good teacher is e.g. ‘the successful teacher’, the teacher I like best’, ‘the teacher I learn most from’, and the like. Each of the terms delivers different meanings and tastes. In a more formal setting, simply, it can be argued that be a good teacher means be a good facilitator in the classroom, who plans, organizes, manages the instruction that is based on students’ needs and characteristics so that the students can reach maximum learning achievement. In brief, this conceptual paper intended to identify effective teaching is weighed in the English classroom for young learners.

Purpose: Conducting meaningful interactions in the target language is essential for language learning. However, in many English language classrooms in China, it is rare that students are provided with such opportunities. In the current study, we presented and critically evaluated the implementation of a small-group discussion approach called Quality Talk (QT) in an eighth-grade English language classroom in China. Design/Approach/Methods: One eighth-grade English teacher and 82 eighth-grade students in a public middle school in Beijing participated in the study using a pretest-posttest, quasi-experimental design. Recordings of teacher coaching sessions and student discussions, researchers’ field notes, and participating teacher’s written reflections were used to identify successful practices and lessons learned with respect to the implementation of QT. Implications for future directions were also discussed. Findings: The results revealed that to successfully implement a discourse-intensive pedagogical approach in a large English language class, it is essential that (a) the materials used for discussion closely align with the school curriculum, (b) students are grouped heterogeneously and scaffolded to engage in discussions both in their native and target languages, and (c) student leadership be leveraged to facilitate discussion in each small group. Originality/Value: The present study delineated the details with respect to implementing a discourse-intensive pedagogical approach in an eighth-grade English classroom in China. We derived several key insights from recontextualizing QT in an English learning, large class context in China. These insights might hold the potential to improve the effectiveness of English teaching and learning in China.
