3. Reading Practice.
3.1. Make an accentual-tonetic analysis of the following extract. Practise its expressive reading. Reading Passage: Trust and Confidentiality
1 Third, being a professional teacher carries the responsibility of trust. 2 We function in loco parentis – we stand in the place of a parent when students are in our charge, whether that’s in the classroom, on a field trip, at an extracurricular activity, a school-sponsored function, or a private affair. 3 The trust includes responsibility for the students’ physical safety, their moral and social behavior, and their psychological and emotional well-being. 4 We must constantly be on guard to protect our students from harm, whether it be from a snowball or an insult being hurled.
5 Maintaining confidentiality is one of the most important areas for which teachers are responsible. 6 Teachers should not discuss individual students with anyone unless the setting and purpose are appropriate. 7 Even to discuss students with other teachers in the faculty lounge or over lunch is inappropriate, and if done in public it becomes unethical.
