The main purpose of this article is to compare the patterns of teacher dispositions in China with those patterns in the USA. Teacher disposition including enthusiasm, professional esteem and learning motivation play a big role in the students’ learning and achievement. To know the significance of those variables, fourteen experienced teacher and professors in China and the USA were joining oral and written narratives.

Personally, I think that teacher disposition affected the students’ learning and achievement. and this is not only happen in China and USA, but also in Indonesia as well. Because when I was in high school, I experienced that a motivated teacher will affect my motivation in studying as well. When I like way the teacher delivering the material, I will pay attention more on that subject and of course that will affect my achievement. if the teacher doesn’t really enthusiast when teaching the materials, the students will not motivated to study as well.

When I become a teacher someday, of course I will consider about teacher dispositions when doing learning activities in the classroom. I want to motivate my students to learn English by showing them my enthusiasm in teaching English. I mean, when I teach my students, I have to be enthusistic and well-prepared so that my students will pay attention more in the learning activities.
