The effect of teacher’s expectation As an English learner, I am related to the effect of teacher’s expectation. Last semester, I had trouble figuring out my final presentation topic. Although I finally figured out one topic, there was a sound in my mind said, “That topic is too difficult for you. You cannot do it.” When I decided to change my topic, my teacher told me, “You are good enough to handle this topic.” At that time, I believed there was nothing I could not do. Now look back at it, although I was suffered from doing that paper, I still made it, got a high score, and improved a lot.
