Planting the seeds of change

Abstract

It is almost impossible to recall past teachers without perceiving the positive or negative impact that they had on us, although many people fail to understand the complex task entrusted to these professionals. This section of this master’s thesis is aimed to expose the different competences and roles that English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers should have, only after dedicating various lines to define and contextualize why the teacher’s role in general is paramount and indispensable considering the concept of education.
