    Re: Help Please! What do students call teachers in your country?

    In Turkey it depends on the grade / level of students .. Up to the first five years of the primary education schools we are called  "Öğretmenim ( My teacher) later on they start saying "Hocam"which is confused with "teacher" and "hodja" who work in mosques

    Re: Help Please! What do students call teachers in your country?

    In America, we are addressed by our students by our last names:  Mrs. Blank, Mr. Blank, etc.  If the name is too new and too hard for the students to pronounce (as in the case of substitutes), we'll be called Mrs. B or Mr. B, etc.  The faculty refers to each other also as Mrs. and Mr. in front of the children.  Privately, it's first names.  It gets cumbersome when students' parents want to communicate - I always take the lead from them.  If the parent addresses me by my first name, I try to respond in kind, if I know the first name.  If the parent addresses me by Mrs. or Ms., I do the same.  Is this helpful?

    Hi Maria!

    Here in Serbia students call their teachers in primary schools just "teacher"(= "nastavnica", if female or "nastavnik" if male). Since I've been running my own private English language school where I also teach, I told my students to call me by my first name. It doesn't really matter what they call you. What matters is if they RESPECT you.

    Greetings,

    Mirjana

    Hi!

    In the Philippines our teachers are called as Ma'am, Madame, Ms, Sir, followed by the family name of the teachers. But other school the students called their teachers as Teacher Lorna. Like me. :)

    hi ,

    Students of our school call their female teachers 'Miss', Madam, Ma'm, and in our own language they call them 'Guruaama' (Guru=teacher, aama=mother) and to male teachers they say Guruba ( ba=father) , in English they call them 'Sir' . And in some school they just call them 'Teacher', eg, Hello Teacher Govinda ( my name is Govinda)

    Isn't it amazing!

    with love,

    Govinda. from Nepal, land of Mt. Everest

    In the USA students typically refer to their teachers in their formal titles - Mister, Mrs. Miss, Dr, etc

    Maria,

    Here in Ireland we use Sir and Miss. In the rural areas many children still call the teacher Master! Hope this helps.

    Hello Maria,

     

      I teach at a junior/senior high school in Japan.  All the students refer to the teacher as Sensei.  Sensei means teacher in Japanese.  A more formal way would be to use the surname followed by sensei.  An example would be   "Tanaka Sensei".   Students never call the teacher by their first name.  I hope this helps.  Take care.

    Re: Help Please! What do students call teachers in your country?

    HI, I teach homeschooled students in a learning center.  These students do not go to a traditional school,so, their schooling  is sometimes less formal and more flexible.  We have a family like atmosphere.   However, we require that students call our staff Mr. or Mrs. and their last name.  Some staff who have difficult last names to pronounce may allow students to call them Mr. M or Mrs. J (using just the first letter of their last name).   Good question!  Bettye

    Hey Maria! I teach gifted students in grades 2-5 in Tennessee. My students call me Mrs. Warwick. I know that some teachers in the lower grades go by their first names with Ms. like Ms. Julie or Ms. Sarah. That is usually more in preschool though. Hope this helps! Good luck!

    Re: Help Please! What do students call teachers in your country?

    In my opinion, what the students call a teacher in an English class should be just the same as that in English speaking countries. Afterall, we are leaning English, so let us just follow the customs in those countries. However, in China, most teachers are just called "lao shi" (teacher), maybe it is kind of rude in USA or UK, or we could be called first the last name then followed by teacher. Students should not call the full name, which is considered rude in China.

    Most teachers in my primary school use the teacher's last name: Mr. Gabelli, Ms. Bernasconi, Mrs. Jones. A few teachers have students use their first names. In our Middle and High Schools (ages 12-17), most teachers have students use their first names.
