Answer:
Classroom management is a collection of techniques that teachers use to encourage effective learning by minimizing distractions and disruptions. Classroom management can often be a neglected part of a teacher’s training. Even if classroom management is covered in a teacher-training course, new teachers may not be prepared to deal with all the real-life challenges of the classroom. A teacher can have great lesson plans and materials. However, if a teacher cannot manage her/his class, effective learning will not happen. So, what are the essential elements of good classroom management?
Classroom management techniques
1. Build your community.
Community building means providing opportunities for students to get to know each other (and the teacher). A classroom is a small community. When students don’t feel anonymous, when they feel connected to their classmates, motivation increases and interaction is easier. Take time at the beginning of the course to provide activities that allow students to get to know one another.
2. Create a safe, supportive environment.
Learning a new language can be a scary experience. Students are often afraid of making mistakes and being laughed at. When they feel relaxed and among friends, tension decreases. As the teacher, model respect, caring, and encouragement. Expect the same from your students. When students feel safe and cared for, they are less likely to get off-task and more likely to be involved in class activities.
3. Know your students.
As much as possible, get to know your students on a personal level (we know this can be difficult in very large classes!). This not only helps you develop bonds with your students, it also helps you to design lessons and activities that meet their needs and interests. When student needs are being met, they are more likely to be engaged in class. Also, students have different reasons for undesirable behavior in class. The more you know your students, the more you can understand the reasons for disruptive behavior and find ways to limit it. This includes finding ways to incorporate and recognize all students’ strengths in some way.
4. Create classroom guidelines/expectations, and include students in this process.
Take time to make clear what kind of behaviors you expect from your students. How can they meet expectations if they don’t know what they are? This is even more effective when students are involved in creating expectations. If they come up with the “rules,” they are more likely to follow them. This can also include consequences for not following the rules. Making sure everyone knows the classroom expectations can reduce disruptive behaviors and therefore lead to effective learning.
5. Be fair and consistent with all students.
Did you ever have a teacher who clearly favored some students and disliked others? What effect did that have on students’ attitudes? As teachers, we will always have students we like more and less, those who are more motivated and prepared and those who are less motivated and prepared. It is our job to make sure we treat all students equally (but you can still accommodate different student needs). Be conscious of how often you call on certain students, and make sure you don’t single out students who perform well or poorly. Do recognize students who are doing a great job. Find ways to do this for all your students when they do something well. Often, students who are labeled as “bad” or “poor” will live up to that label. They may engage in disruptive or other undesirable behavior.
