4. Classroom management refers to the way
a teacher organizes and handles a class.
The type of classroom management a
teacher uses depends on the learning
objectives and the teaching philosophy of
the teacher and school.
5. We will look at four important aspects of
classroom management: atmosphere,
interaction and participation, seating
arrangement, and time management
6. Classroom Atmosphere: It's important to
establish a good classroom atmosphere that
will motivate your students to learn
7. Be friendly, make the class enjoyable.
Be sympathetic to what the learners feel and say.
Know your learners well: names, families, special
characteristics.
Praise the learners when they do good work and don't
discipline learners harshly.
Use an assortment of classroom activities and vary your
activities throughout the day.
9. a) teacher-learner
interaction:
Teachers usually stand in front
of the class when presenting
new material, leading
discussions, or having the
class practice exercises as a
whole group. In these
activities it's important to
engage all the learners by
choosing among everyone to
answer questions and do
exercises. When learners are
working alone the teacher
should move around the
classroom talking and
checking work.
b) interaction among
learners:
Here the learners are working
with each other in pairs and
groups, doing role plays
and dialogues in front of
the class, or giving reports
to the class. These activities
allow all the students to
engage in active learning.
Try to do these kinds of
activities every day so that
students learn the value of
participation and learning
from each other.
10. Vary the seating arrangement of your class according
to the activity you're doing.
11. This is the traditional seating arrangement with all the
learners facing the blackboard. It's used when the
teacher is leading the class or when the class is
watching presentations by other learners.
12. Here the learners move their chairs to sit in groups. If
you've given the groups a task that takes 15 minutes
or more you can let somegroups go outside to work.
13. Here the learners sit or stand in pairs to work.
This is done for pair tasks, interviews, and
asking questions in pairs.
14. This is used best with a small group, not over 15 or 20
people. The group sits in a "U" shape with the teacher
or leader at the front. This arrangement is good for
discussions because everyone can see each other.
15. Keep your eye on the time
when you're teaching and
having breaks. Following
are points about time
management in the
classroom:
16. Plan the steps of your lesson and estimate the
time needed for each step so you have
adequate activities to engage the learners for
the enti re period.
17. Teachers should encourage learners to make efficient
use of their time and you can do this by setting a
good example. Teachers should arrive at school and
start classes on time. If your learners have a habit of
coming late, start the class on time with the few
learners who are there, and the others will soon learn
to come on time.
18. One aspect of timing is to keep the learners active.
When you give the class a problem or task to do,
watch the learners as they work. Give them enough
time to do the task, then move on to the next step as
soon as they're finished. Try to do two or three
different activities in one period so that the learners
don't become inactive or bored.
19. Don't use too much class time talking and
explaining. When the teacher talks too much it
limits learner participation. Give explanations
through questions and answers, or have the
learners explain things themselves.
20. Give the learners breaks to let them relax
between lessons. Don't let the breaks go on too
long, though. It's good to stay with some of the
learners during breaks, talking to them and
helping them with individual problems.
