What is a Philosophy of Teaching Statement?
* Philosophy of teaching statements are concise statements of what you believe about the teaching and learning of languages, and possibly also about education in general. Most sources recommend that you keep your teaching philosophy statement between one and two pages in length, covering what you believe, why, and brief examples of how you implement it in the classroom.
*A philosophy of teaching statement is a narrative that includes your conception of teaching and learning,a description of how you teach and justification for why you teach that way.
