Classroom Management
• Involves everything that a teacher must do to achieve his/her teaching objectives
• It includes preparation of plans and materials, structuring of activities into time blocks, grouping students, plans for transition periods--changing from one activity to another or from one place to another--student involvement and motivation, and adequate control of pupil behavior.
The teacher in the classroom
• The physical presence of the teacher plays a very important part in the management of the classroom. The degree to which teachers are aware of what is going on makes the difference between successful and less satisfactory lessons.

Talking to studentsTeacher needs to establish a good rapport
with students.Rough-tuning is the simplification of
language in order to increase their chances for being understood.
Teachers adjust their language according to students’ needs.
•What kind of language•What they wish to say•The manner in which they will speak (intonation, tone of voice
Giving Instructions
• Instructions must be both simple and logical.
• Questions to keep in mind: What is the important information I’m
trying to convey?What must the students know if they are
to complete this activity successfully?What information do they need first?Which should come next?
Student Talk and Teacher Talk
• Maximize student talking time(STT) and minimize teachers talking time (TTT)
• Teachers need to offer students the right kind of talking, that is to say the teacher talking quality (TTQ) has to be considered when helping students to understand and acquire the language.
• Good teachers use their common sense and experiences to make the balance right.
Creating Lesson StagesStart the lesson• Engage students• What they are going to do• Makes students aware of when one activity
has finished and when another starts.
Get students’ attention• Speak loudly, saying thank you, speak
quietly, raise hands
Lesson is almost finished• Summary of what have happened• Prediction of what will take place in the
next lesson
Different Seating Arrangements
Orderly rowsTeacher has a clear view of all the ss and ss can all see the teacher.It makes lecturing easier.Useful in certain kinds of language practice
Circle and horseshoes
There is a feeling of equality, because everybody is sitting in a circle.Students can see each other
Separate tables
Useful in mixed-ability classes where different groups of ss can benefit from concentrating on different tasks.When ss are engaged in collaborative writing
Different students groupings
Whole class Useful for presenting information and
for controlled practice.
Group work and pairwork Foster cooperative activity and give ss
chances for greater independence
Solowork S Students can work at their own speed.
Class-to-class Two classes are joined, so they can
interact with each other.
