What did teacher should  be improved her teaching?

In my opinion, I think that a teacher didn't have to improve anything because she was smart and knowledgeable but sometimes she was too kind, she asked students and gave answers by herself. It made students don't have opinion and participation.

How did you have an attitude in this course?

In my view, I think that this course was really important for students who were studying in English because it would make students easy to understand texts and knew how to use about texts much more. In addition, it could be applied to use in daily life such a reading skills in English when you were in classroom or society that need to communicate in English.

Finally, I was glad to learn about this course because it made me know many things I wanted. And it made me improve my skills more than the past. All of skills that I received ,it was useful for me so that I will use in teaching as an English teacher in high school levels.
