Proper classroom management is key to the effective learning of your students and is dependent on the attitude / manner of the teacher, the organization of the classroom and the maintenance of discipline. This lesson provides numerous guidelines to effective classroom management. Eye contact should be used precisely to establish rapport with students and allow for an easy, relaxed flow for lessons and activities. Clear gestures can be used to reduce teacher talk time and convey the meaning of instructions and the language. In considering their own conduct, the teacher should also effectively interchange between sitting and standing positions -- standing when they need to convey a message to the whole class or monitor students progress and sitting during student presentation and in moments of group and individual work. When considering classroom arrangement, the teacher should consider class and classroom size, student behavior, age, and the rapport of the students with each other and with the teacher. Examples of groupings include the whole-class orderly rows, horseshoes and circles, and separate tables. There are many ways to organize group work and the teacher should bear in mind student talk time, student rapport with each other, classroom control, and the time and ease of group organization when choosing an organization method. When giving instructions for activities, the teacher should be clear, concise, use a lower level of English than being taught, give instructions one at a time and check that students understand the activity before proceeding. If behavioral problems arise, the teacher should enforce rules in a consistent and fair manner, should not let their personal feeling enforce their discipline, and should not call out or embarrass a student in front of the whole class (instead keep them after class if necessary). All of the following considerations will help establish a good rapport between student and teacher. A good rapport will keep the learning environment relaxed and more effective.
