This unit gives an overview of the qualities of a teacher and the different roles a teacher assumes in the classroom to achieve set objectives. It emphasizes that the best teacher is one who shows a great interest in learners and their learning abilities as well as their deficiencies. Such a teacher will be more productive as he/she provides guidance and encourages his/her learners to discover things themselves rather than always spoon-feeding them. Equally, it discusses the qualities of a good learner. The most striking of these, is the ability of a learner to think about their own learning process and methods. This is essential because all learners acquire knowledge differently and at varying paces.

This information will undoubtedly assist teachers in managing their expectations from each of their learners and in tracking progress in their learners' competence. Finally, the unit highlights different reasons why learners choose to attend English class. Overall, the unit gets the teacher acquainted with their expected roles in the classroom and gives a brief guide into the possible types of learners they may have to teach.
