This unit is about managing classes. This is an important skill that a teacher needs in order to be confident. Eye contact, gesture and voice are all essential to establishing good connections with students. Eye contact ensures that each student is involved in the lesson. Gestures help to convey meanings and add interest to the lessons. A clear and concise voice is an asset in the classroom. Using their names is very important to maintain contact and control over the class.
Students can be grouped in different ways - whole class, individual or paired. Each has pros/cons and can be useful at various times. Arranging the classroom is important for a good teaching outcome. Based on student ages, nationality, personalities and space availability you can prepare the seating arrangements. Rows, circles, horseshoes, tables and where the teacher will stand - must all be taken into account.
Writing on the board, teacher talk time, student talk time, giving individual attention, giving instructions, establishing a connection and discipline- these areas are all very important pieces of classroom management.
