The changes that place in schools have changed the roles of teachers. In the past, teachers used to be the major source of knowledge, the leader, and educator of their students' school life. Nowadays, teachers provide information and show their students to handle it. Although they are still considered to be a kind of facilitator in the class, they can be thought of as a facilitator in the learning process.
Another difference between the past and present tasks of teachers is represented by the technical background they need in order able to use computers and some other machines effectively. Instead of teaching with chalk, they need to be information technology experts.
One of the biggest challenges teachers is that their role in the school management has also changed. The school needs them as individuals, who can make and cope with the stress of the world of schools. At the same time, teachers need to be able to work in teams and cooperate with colleagues and parents. A teacher has not only to instruct but also to the students with confidence and determination.
Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Teenage fiction
Teenagers have their own TV channels, websites and magazines. So what about books?
Last year one publisher, Martins, started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained, "Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been particularly successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they're realizing that teenagers aren't just older children but they're not adults either and often aren't interested in adult fiction. For this series, we're looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers."
Athene Gorr's novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says, "The important thing is to persuade teenagers to pick up your book. I'm a new writer so, although I've got an unusual name which people might remember, nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what a brilliant story it is!"
And what do teenagers themselves think about the series? We talked to Sophie Clarke, aged 15. She said, "I've read a few books in the Waves series. They say they're for 14-19 year olds and I agree with that. We're not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children's section, lots of teenagers won't find them so they may not do very well. And it's a shame there's no non-fiction in the series as I think lots of teenagers, especially boys, might buy that."
