I'm not a teacher or a linguist, but in my opinion the sensei teaches by doing, and it is up to the student to learn. With the sensei I'm currently 'stealing' from, I can learn from feeling him do the technique on me, watching him demo in class, or watching a class that he is a student in and watching him during it. He doesn't talk much, which is fine by me, words just get in the way. I want to feel what he does, or at least see it...he should just be himself, and the fun for me is in the learning.
