“Teacher identity”: Feeling, Confrontation, and Self-Formation

The article of teacher identifying themselves before other teachers as well as expressing their emotions on the intercultural communication, it will help in knowing how teachers interact with other teachers from both the same culture and different culture.The article will also show the emotions that teachers present to their students while teaching. The report relates to how teachers make them be known to others. The identity of teachers clearly shows related concept on how the teachers conceive as well as demonstrating their characteristics in teaching. The article aimed to determine factors that affect pre-service and the identity of teachers. According to the research, it shows that positive emotions it always indicate teachers with the capability of teaching well while the negative feelings usually present a teacher with lousy teaching: the real and harmful shows the character, actions and Values of the teacher.As a result, the education system requires teachers to go through administration as well as engaging themselves in specific instructional practice, which most of the teachers do not value. While in such condition, teachers feel discouraged, depressed and start developing other negative emotions since they think they are not able to facilitate the growth of personnel which develops the negative identity of the teacher. For effective teaching to take place in all level of education, it needs the teacher to have positive emotions, and at the same time, students are supposed to love subject taught as well as being passionate in those particular subjects for them to perform well. Failure to that the teacher will be less motivated, he will not bother to commit his time for teaching, and he will be less self-efficacious while teaching. The current curriculum contributes a lot in the drain of positive emotions of teachers which as a result brings ineffective teaching because feelings are both a psychological. For the young babies that have not yet gone to school, here the article shows how young children of less than three years get to understand people who make them feel satisfied and also those people that please their desires which as results make children to develop positive feelings on them. They get to know the language they are speaking; they follow what they are told to do and also to make them be their close friends. Despite that the person taking care of the babies might have come from another culture when children develop positive feelings towards them, they can communicate to each other due to the attached feelings they have towards each other. In most cases, the concept of teacher identity usually differs from the functional roles of the teacher. The character of the teachers is created on the central principles which makes one understand that for one to teach, he must be a teacher. According to Zembylas, he argues that a teacher is an independent individual, who regularly moves between the two needs, that is the need of bonding with other teachers and the need of keeping with the sense of originality. The article of the teacher identity, it merely signifies that there is a need to have intercultural communication since it makes people get to know how different culture communicate. It also urges the teacher to develop a positive feeling when teaching since many students respond as per the emotions of the teacher.
