"English Teachers are 'Lost In The Past"

(Part One of the article 'The Prospects of Higher Education Within the Context of Creativity & Individual Approach')

It’s 10:20 pm, Sunday; there is a sound of a violin coming from the kitchen. I’m starting to write an article and the topic is the prospects of higher education within the context of creativity & individual approach.

What actually caught my attention is that there are a few repetitive tendencies that the reader delves into. The authors insist that teachers in this day and age are ‘lost in the past’ and one of the ways towards the prosperity of higher education is catching up with the technology making them part of the game incorporating new elements, methods that are, indeed, on very good terms with the progress, after all, there are almost 7 billions smartphones in the world and access to them—merely a slight, gentle touch of the screen with your fingers—will eventually replace a bus ticket and a forty-minute road to get to university, the board, the desk and a piece of chalk and smiley lively faces of your classmates.

Another future popular prospect that you can find between the lines (and not only) in the articles is a financial connection, which is not, traditionally, between the government and the teacher but, on the contrary, between the teacher and the student directly which creates an invisible line of trust in which relationship developed is actually, in a way, the only relationship that matters between a student and a teacher which leads to the understanding and innovation rather than the government and the teacher relationship that leads to writing dozens of standards which creates unnecessary distance between the parties and remorse.

This approach is, to a certain degree, the first step to exploring individuality in the context of higher education – one of the future prospects of the whole educational system and I strongly believe that the future of higher (undergraduate) education lies in personal approach, creating and using individuality as a tool for developing a more meaningful relationship with the subject, let’s say teaching English.
