Sinbad of Teaching

Creative teachers always burn the midnight oil studying and searching for methods to help their students sitting pretty and tight in the classroom.

They expect nobody to appreciate their divine mission of overcoming boredom. There are, however, some handicaps which twist the arms of teachers and prevent them from being creative . These handicaps constitute uninteresting lessons which offer no challenge to the learners. Consequently, teachers mechanically implement them in the class.

Sinbad of Teaching is an imaginary system that creative teachers adopt whenever teaching becomes boring rather than entertaining. I want to share this concept with teachers who face an uphill task when teaching.. When a teacher banks upon this system he/she becomes like a sailor or an adventurer in the ocean of creative and imaginative teaching.

The vital fact about this concept is that teachers learn how to draw students' attention when introducing, presenting and practicing the lesson. Being a Sinbadian tutor means fancifully crossing the limitations which handicap the creativity in giving classes.

The main focus of this article will be on the English Language Teaching,. It will only shed some light on how to introduce the topic of any lesson, using the Sinbad of Teaching concept. But let me begin with some important tips which can help those who struggle hard for ways to introduce their lessons:
1- Imagine any adventure that Sinbad had gone through.
2-If you had no source ; use the Arabian Nights book.
2- Change the elements of your lesson into dramatic characters.
3- The role of a teacher would be a narrator of that adventure.

Let me give an example of how some teachers introduce the topic of their lessons, using boring ways. Here is an example of how introduce the prepositions of time in Grammar teaching.

'' Today, We have Grammar. Firstly, we'll know what the propositions of time mean , mention their types and finally how to use them.''

In the above introduction, the teacher failed to have a good start for the lesson that could attract the attention of pupils .That was because he had no other ways to introduce the topic of his lesson.

The pupils of his class would always say these words were said yesterday and the day before yesterday. But if he had a good deal of knowledge about imaginatively presenting the same lesson, he would never fall into that trap ever again.

On the other hand, teachers ,who can operate the Sindbad of teaching system, have no worry when introducing the same thing. Let's get the ball rolling on the Sindbad of teaching court. Here is the same introduction given by a Sindbadian teacher who took time and used his imagination and creativity in saying it.

''Today we will have a wonderful journey to the island of Grammar , over there we'll pay a visit to the prepositions of time cottage and we'll try to get to know the family members of time and search for the usage treasure that cottage has. Are you ready to sail with me?''

This teacher has successfully learned the tricks of the trade , transformed the elements of the lesson into some dramatic characters and finally narrated those elements using an entertaining method that would enchant his pupils to the magical way of introduction.

The Sindbadian Teaching needs a lot of preparation and effort before stepping into the classroom but at the end it makes young pupils feel excited and entertained. It shows how imaginative and creative the teacher is, especially when taking his pupils into another world.
