Email this article Language Learning or Language Education? Reviving Teachers’ Moral Exemplary Function
Abstract
Abstract: English teaching is not only simply devoted to make students to master language contents. More than that, teachers may infuse moral values like politeness, respect, and honesty during the teaching and learning process. This preliminary case study explored teacher’s perception to their moral exemplary function and how they play their role as a moral agent in the classroom. Through interviews with two English teachers, it is revealed that teachers regard the exemplary function is crucial for students’ moral development. Teachers could actualize their role as moral model by showing good attitude in speaking and behave properly in front of students.
