To err is human, not to accept it is an act of stupidity. To accept and rectify it, is more than human and not to repeat it, is divine. Keeping this motto in mind teachers need to reflect on the responsibilities which they are expected to undertake in the present society. In the present context self –evaluation basically means the ability of a teacher to judge his or her own teaching honestly and to see how much learning is taking place in the class. The purpose of teaching is to help students to learn. So we can only judge teaching by seeing how well students succeed in learning. The teacher can improve students' chances of learning by: · Creating a good class-room climate. The class-room climate is affected by the teacher's own attitude and behavior eg, how he or she controls the class, how much he or she uses English in the class etc. · Being sensitive to the needs of individual learners and recognizing that each student has different needs and problems.

Teaching is an art in which the relationship between human beings, between teacher and taught, is crucial to real success. Learning to teach is not to pick up formulae but to act on internalized principles – to borrow terminology from religious instructions, we are concerned not with outward and visible signs, but with inward and spiritual graces. The signs are the conventions of particular times and places, but the internal motivation and sensitivity of the good teacher will transcend the limitations of particular local conventions through the process of relating to people – the class. Each teacher recreates the principles of teaching in relation to each new class and each new student. Some teachers do it better than others, of course, but all teachers will attest to gradually getting a 'feel' for teaching, as they become more experienced. We can
