Chayanuvat (2009) The Teacher The Thai teacher has complex roles of in the expectations of the research participants. The teacher in an English classroom is expected not only to teach but also to facilitate learning. The roles are complex because the classroom is a place where individual differences, needs and wants for learning are attended to. Being the most important person in the Thai classroom, the teacher affects students in many ways by his/her displayed behaviour. The teacher is expected to demonstrate desirable general warm human qualities, specific personal characteristics, accommodating presentation and performance skills, sufficient content knowledge and effective teaching strategies. The research participants looked forward to positive teacher-student relationships that would eventually help them learn English with confidence, not with stress. According to the research participants, the teacher is expected to adopt human qualities such as being caring and nurturing, facilitating and being impartial. Qualities of Good Teachers
