Hi Liman

My students were with me when i was reading this topic, this morning. So i asked them to define, or rather differentiate between an enthusiastic teacher and  an unenthusiastic teacher. Their definitons to it was as innocent as their thoughts were.

They said in chorus," An enthusiastic teacher is the one who enters the class with a 1000 watt smile, highly charged attitude and strong committment."  This teacher according to them, 'will be punctual, ready and "be there approach"; he/she will teach the way the pupils learn.'

Involvement is one thing that all the students look for in a teacher.The students should feel that beyond academics , this teacher is genuinely interested in them and is concerned. Touch is such a magical sensory behaviour that can calm even a storm. An enthusisatic teacher adds a personal touch, or rather touches the life of the students. Th should not be mixed up with the definiton of a good teacher, which is nothing but a teacher who is good at his/her subject.

Everything opposite to mentioned above is an unenthusiastic teacher. In fact, thre shouldn't be an unenthusiastic teacher, for he/she is totally unfir for th job.
