Throughout, Rassias insists that professors and apprentice teachers alike create a classroom situation that dispels inhibitions and keeps students excited about learning. Says he: "I ban from the classroom any teacher who is not 'alive.' A teacher of language should be in total command of the language, but he should also be a firebrand and an actor."
