Abstract
Traditionally, teacher-learner interactions are limited to classrooms. However, technology has brought flexibility allowing development of more personalized and meaningful teacher-learner relationships. Using a case study approach, this work investigates how such behaviors and qualities like; approachability, kind words, enthusiasm, simple smile, body language, scheduled and disciplined availability and knowledge on the part of the teacher impacts learner behavior. Further, an attempt is made to prove how through the use of polite language and a courteous approach, the problems associated with new technology can be reverted leading to a balanced student-teacher relationship. It is inferred that there is a great longing in people to have open conversation with someone trustworthy; but unfortunately, everyone is preoccupied with their own work or the student lacks good friendships depriving them of a trustable outlet. Hence, through the case study we also prove that proactiveness, care and concern expressed by mere words can have tremendous effect on student's behavior, habit, attitude and performance.
