1. Classroom management
AETATEACHERDEVELOPMENTWORKSHOP
• We will first deal with classroom management,
another practicalities of teaching which may
include:
• Classroom arrangement
• Teaching styles
• Classroom energy
• By learning classroom management, it’s hoped that
we could hone our skills in dealing with the
intangible nature of teaching.
2. SIGHT, SOUND, AND COMFORT
Students could be
profoundly affected by what
the see, hear, and feel when
they enter the classroom.
It’s worth considering the following conditions:
• The classroom is neat, clean, and orderly in
appearance.
• Chalkboards are erased
• Chairs are appropriately arranged.
• Take advantage of bulletin boards.
• Free from external noise.
• Tolerable acoustics
• Heating or cooling systems.
3. SEATING ARRANGEMENTS
Students should be able to see one another, talk to
another in English and so they should not feel like they
walk into a military formation where the chairs are
lined up in columns.
Consider:
• Semi-circles
• U-Shapes
• Concentric circles
• Crescent round
• Reception
4. CHALKBOARD USE
• Using chalkboard gives students added visual
input such as graph, words, pictures, and
charts along with auditory.
• Try to be neat and orderly in using the board,
erasing as often as appropriate.
• To achieve this, it is often suggested that we
plan ahead how we will use the board which
can be included in our lesson plans.
5. EQUIPMENT
If we are using electrical equipment, make sure that:
• The room has outlets.
• The equipment fits comfortably in the room.
• Everyone can equally see the visual or hear the
auditory stimulus.
• We have enough time to set up before and after
class.
• The machine works.
• We know how to operate it.
• There’s plan B when it doesn’t work.
6. Voice and body language
• We don’t need to have a loud booming voice – what
we need is for the students to be able to hear us
clearly, even from those sitting farthest away from us.
• And remember to articulate clearly, don’t mumble.
• Beginners need a fairly natural, but slow speed of
delivery
• Another fundamental concerns YOU, as the teacher,
and how messages are communicated through voice
and body language.
7. Voice and bodylanguage
Nonverbal messages can be a powerful means of
communications.
Especially in language classes where they may not have the
skills yet to decipher verbal messages.
What to consider:
• Let your body posture exhibit an air of confidence.
• Your face should reflect optimism, brightness, and
warmth.
• Use facial gestures and hand gestures to enhance
meanings.
• Make frequent eye contact with all students in the class.
• Do not ‘bury yourself’ in your notes and plans.
• Move about in the classroom, but don’t distract students.
• Dress appropriately.
