In the 21st century the teacher has a multi tasks to finish. The role of teacher is not restricted in teaching only, the teachers roles are much wider than what we can imagine. The teacher is :
1. The Controller: The teacher is in complete charge of the class, what students do, what they say and how they say it.
2. The Prompter: The teacher encourages students to participate and makes suggestions about how students may proceed in an activity. The teacher should be helping students only when necessary.
3. The Resource: The teacher is a kind of walking resource center ready to offer help if needed, or provide learners with whatever language they lack when performing communicative activities. The teacher must make her/himself available so that learners can consult her/him when (and only when) it is absolutely necessary.
4. The Assessor: The teacher assumes this role to see how well students are performing or how well they performed. Feedback and correction is organized and carried out.
5. The Organizer: Perhaps the most difficult and important role the teacher has to play. The success of many activities depends on good organization and on the students knowing exactly what they are to do next. Giving instructions is vital in this role as well as setting up activities.
6. The Participant: This role improves the atmosphere in the class when the teacher takes part in an activity. However, the teacher takes a risk of dominating the activity when performing it.
7. The Tutor: The teacher acts as a coach when students are involved in project work or self-study. The teacher provides advice and guidance and helps students clarify ideas and limit tasks.
