This chapter discusses the importance of time management for teachers. It notes that time can be divided into two categories: daily time spent before and after classes preparing and managing professional duties, and time spent directly with students during classes. Proper time management is key to both improving student achievement and preventing discipline issues. The chapter emphasizes structuring lessons efficiently, minimizing transitions, and maximizing instructional time. It provides tips for managing time such as planning ahead, multitasking, using time limits, and learning to say no.

Different contexts for learning
Learner differences
The importance of student motivation
Responsibility for learning

3. Reasons for Learning
• Living in a target language community
• ESP
• Improve English generally
different contexts for learning
• EFL/ESL: English for speakers of other languages
• School and language schools
• Large classes and one-to-one teaching
• In school and in company
• Real and virtual learning environment

4. Learner differences
• Age: Children/Adults
• Learning styles: the way you like to learn (M.intel)
Diversify activities
• Levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced
• Ed and cultural background: learning by rote or
learning by doing: T need to be sensitive of different
backgrounds. Offer different material, topics and teaching
techniques to suit different individual expectations and tastes.

5. The importance of student motivation
• Extrinsic motivation: the motivation that Ss bring into the
classroom from outside the classroom.
• Intrinsic motivation: motivation from what happened inside the
class such as T’s method, activities, Ss perception of their success
or failure.
• T’s main aim is to sustain Ss motivation: activities we ask Ss to
take part in, excite Ss curiosity and provoke their participation,
help them to be interested in the subject, select appropriate
level of challenge, be professional, Ss may have some decision
making power.
Real motivation comes from within each individual, from the Ss themselves.

6. Responsibility for learning
• Encourage Ss to take more responsibility of their own learning
• Instead of imposing learner’s autonomy, we need to gradually
extend the Ss role in learning( make their own dialogues,
investigate a grammar issue, puzzles, use dictionary), self
access center, CD,DVD resources to continue studying outside
the class …

9. Introduction
Good teachers:
 are born and not made! (they have a nutural
affinity for the job)
 those who do not have this natural gift learn
their craft by mixing personality, intelegence,
knowledge and experience.

10. Who teachers are in class
1. Personality
Effective teacher personality is a blend betweenwho we really are
(natural personality) , and who we are as teachers.
 Teachers have to show a professional face.
2. Adaptability
 What makes one teacher out from another is how they react to
different events in the classrom as the lesson proceeds.
 Unexpected events happen in lessons and part of a teacher’s
skill is to decide what the response should be when they do. (not
everything goes as planned)
 T should react quickly and decisively before the escalation of
misbehavior.

11. 3.Teacher roles

them to achieve success. whatever.
The teacher-centered
approach.
 Ts have to be a resource for SS to consult
whenever they need advice

12. Rapport
 it’s the relationship between teacher and SS.
 It is established when SS see T as a professional .
1. Recognising SS
• good T knows his SS’ names
2. Listening to SS
• Ts should make themselves as available as they
can to respond to their SS’ needs.
 To maintain rapport, Ts should listen to
comments from SS about the activities that
make them interested or bored.

13. 1. Respecting SS
•Ts should respect their SS by minimising critical
comments (correcting SS) and praise as well.
• Ts should not overreact (anger) when their SS
misbehave.
2. Being even-handed
• Ts should do their best to reach all SS of the
group not just those raise their hands up.
 Ts should deal with their SS equally.

14. Teacher tasks
As professionals, teachers have to perform certain
tasks:
preparation Keeping record Being reliable
• Knowledge of • A useful way for • Time keeping

Nurturing positive
student behavior

19. What is
discipline?

20. Is there any distinction?
Control vs. Discipline

21. What are some possible
characteristics of the disciplined
classroom?

22. Does knowing and using Ss‟ names a practical
hints for teachers on classroom discipline?

23. The teacher should invest time and energy in building positive
relationship with students

24. Students are more attentive, motivated, and helpful when they
perceive the content to somehow relate to their life
 In this chapter, we are going to see how a teacher can motivate
and help his students

25. Establishing rules
Some teachers prefer to set rules the first day of school
 Most effective teachers establish a few, positively stated rules
 its better for a teacher to establish his own set of rules based on
his needs and experience
Don‟t try to cover every possible unacceptable behavior

26. show students that you are very serious in establishing rules
 be flexible while dealing with latecomers, don‟t be late is
different from be on time
 it‟s good to be firm at the beginning and then you can relax

27. Tips for managing classroom behavior
Treat each student with degnity and respect in order to create a
positive relationship with them
 react immediatelly and calmy to the infractions[ students test
you to determine the boundaries of acceptable behavior]
 refocus everyone‟s attention and get all students back on task

28. deliver interesting,fast paced, and orgnized learning experiences ,
much students act out due to boredum
 be sure your rules and expectations are clear
 be cautious of touching Ss when they are angry
selective hearing
 remain firm yet compassionate when you discuss a Ss‟
misbehavior

29. Tips on using Positive reinforcement of good behavior
Reinforcement based on the principles that the frequency of a
response increases because it is followed by a rewarding stimilus
 A teacher‟s goal in using PR in the classroom is moving Ss up
the reward hierarchy from external motivation to internal control
 Reinforce Ss‟ behaviors, reward appropriate behavior; don‟t
ignore it « catch the Ss being good »
 use praise effectively, should be specific rather than general

30. Motivating the Unmotivated
In every classroom, there are Ss who seem unmotivated to learn,
the challenge is to improve the dose of engaging them.
 individualize instructions
 allow Ss structured freedom. Offer options in assignments,
tasks…
 link your content to your Ss‟ personal lives and intersets

31. What good listening is Not
Listening is not advice giving because the T is not an academic
adviser. Even if the student asks for advice, giving it is not
necessarily the best thing to do.
 The chinese proverb « give me a fish and I eat for a day; teach
me to fish and I eat forever »;
 Its more important to equip our Ss with skills needed to face
and solve life‟s challenges

32. CHAPTER 4
Time management

33. Time management is not only important in improving students‟
achievement; it is also an important element in preventing
discipline problems.

34. Time you try to manage falls into two broad categories:
•The daily time you spend before and after classes getting
ready to teach and manage your Ss engaging in
professional activities( planning lessons- grading homework
and classroom papers- conferencing with SS, parents,
teaching colleagues and administrators, professional
development.
•Instructional time: the daily time you spend during class
teaching, engaged in professional activities ( instructing the
whole class directly- instructing small group of SS directly,
audio-visual instructional presentations- helping inattentive
or distracted students remain on task etc)
•Instructional time is of three types :

35. Allocated time Engaged time Academic learning time
-The amount of time that is -The amount of time SS spend -The amount of time the SS are
allocated to teach the class. focused on the instructional engage in learning the objectives

37. •The greatest sign of success for a T is to be able to say “the

way / no spoon-feeding )

38. CHAPTER 5
Managing
the classroom
environment

39. In one of her daily routines, Mrs. Trimasse enters her classroom
greeting her SS and starts brainstorming about today‟s session
which is about “managing the classroom environment”. She
directs one of her questions to Ait Madani.
T: what is classroom climate?
Ait: after a few seconds of thinking, he says with confidence: it is
the collective perception by learners of what it feels like to be a
learner in a particular educator‟s classroom such as TEFL & ICT
master program.

40. Then Mrs. Trimasse turns to other SS asking if they agree or not. In
fact, Mrs. Trimasse, as an effective educator, uses her knowledge,
skills, and behavior to create learning environment that maximizes
opportunities to learn, where TEFLers and ICTers are well managed
and motivated to learn.

41. After Ait Madani‟s answer Akklouch comes with a comment in which
he talks about the factors that influence the classroom climate. He
says that “EMSIC” is an acronym that summarizes four factors: “E”
for Ecology, “M” for Milieu, ”S” for social system, and “C” for
culture. However, Zakaria does not agree with him and instead he
describes the classroom by using a classification of classroom
properties (content), classroom processes (conduct), and classroom
structures (context). As soon as Zakaria finishes his talk, Akhrazze
intervenes by saying “what puzzles me is that I don‟t know the
aspects that influence how learners feel in a class. Then
surprisingly, Mezgar comes with a beautiful answer. He says there are
8 aspects; 1st Clarity about the outcomes of a lesson, 2nd Order within
the class ( Ait MAdani next to Aklouch, and Elomari next to Jam3ati),
3rd Standards of behavior ( Trimasse says make sure your mobiles are
off and never yawn in my class) 4th Fairness, 5th participation, 6th
support, 7th safety, and the last is interesting, comfortable and
attractive environment.

42. Commenting on what Mezgar said about features of a learning
community, a loud voice from the lift corner speaks about 3
building stages for a positive classroom climate: 1st the
establishment phase during which the focus is preventive. Mrs.
Trimasse, in this stage, aims at minimizing unnecessary
disruptions by having a balance of rights, responsibility, rules and
routines. 2nd the consolidation phase in which Mrs. Trimasse
continues to teach, encourage and maintain what was established
even if some SS test these rules by being late. The third stage is
the cohesive phase. During this phase, cooperative learning,
classroom meetings are the norms.

43. After talking about these 3 stages for building a positive learning
environment, Mrs. Trimasse asks us how about managing the
physical environment?

44. Then, again Aklouch raises his hand and says that while
organizing the physical layout of the classroom, educator must
keep in mind “VAFCA”. Then SS turn to each other asking about
this new word. Aklouch explains the word saying that „V‟ stands
for Visibility, „A‟ for Accessibility, „F‟ for Flexibility, „C‟ for
Comfort, and „A‟ for Aesthetics. Then, the class applauds and
Mrs. Trimasse says; yeah! Indeed, classroom space can play an
important role in creating an optimal learning environment.

45. At this point comes Omarakly with his usual criticism. He says: the
problem is (da) that of class size. Apart from disciplinary aspects,
large classes present a number of difficulties: Learners are not
sure of the purpose of instruction. They do not know whether they
are progressing or not. They do not know how to improve. They do
not have the opportunity to read widely. The teacher is unable to
cope with the variety of Ls and their particular needs. All this is
about managing recourses for effective teaching. Mrs. Trimasse
responds saying that a key aspect of managing learning in large
classes is often the production of appropriate resources.
Therefore, your materials and media should be accurate, readable,
sufficient, interesting, varied, linked to the outcomes and content of
the lesson, and used constructively. All this, she says, should be tied
to the age and the ability of the class, time available, and the
teaching strategy used.

46. While Mrs. Trimasse still talking, Zakaria Jamaati says: can I
intervene?
Mrs. Trimasse: is it a question or a comment?
Z: just a comment
T: ok, go ahead
Z: I just wanna tell you of a strategy that I learned in USA. It‟s
called “independence strategies” by which learners are motivated
to become independent learners.

47. N.Sellam interrupts him by saying: but how Si Zakaria? There some
problems resulting from large classes. For example, lack of purpose.
Then Z.J. stops her and says Independence strategies suggest that
you use learning outcomes.
N.S: what about knowledge of progress?
Z: you can use self-assessment.
N.S: then, what about lack of opportunities for discussion?
Z: you can rely on independent, learner-led discussion groups.
N.S: but Ls are not always motivated!
Z: you can resort to problem-based learning
N.S: try to establish support mechanism, e.g. peer support groups

48. Ok, ok, ok says Mrs. Trimasse. That‟s ok for Managing
resources for effective teaching. Let‟s now focus on establishing
the Socioemotional Environment. As far as we know,
educators are responsible for evaluating learners‟ work and for
controlling the quality of life in the classroom. But, how can we
establish that environment?

49. Then, the answer comes from British accent. She says: by focusing on three main
points: 1st communication whether verbal, non-verbal or written. In fact, effective
communication skills form the foundation of effective classroom management.
Therefore, we, as future educators, should listen carefully and effectively to our SS,
give clear messages including our feelings, give of ourselves, consider our feelings
about the message that we have received, and finally consider our responses to the
messages. The 2nd point in establishing socioemotional environment is education-
learner relationships. If you still remember! Mrs. Trimasse told us that, in order to
facilitate engagement with learners, we should accept our personal responsibility
for learner‟s success and stop blaming others. We should take on an extended
teacher role, even outside the classroom. We should be persistent with our SS (just
remember the poster session). We should express a sense of optimism that all
learners can learn (remember Mrs. Trimasse saying Ya Nadia, come on! You can do
it). However, this relationship cannot be good if it has no openness, caring,
Interdependence, separateness, Mutual meeting of needs, all this can be
summarized in one word that is “OCISM”. So, creating good educator-learner
relationships in room 57 would be by creating open, professionally appropriate
dialogue with TEFLers, systematically building better relationships with ICTers,
communicating high expectations. And finally, by creating opportunities for
personal discussion: by letting Aklouch to tell his story with Lalla molati
BismALLAH 3liha.

50. Before Ahlam coud reach the third point of establishing positive
socioemotional environment, Mrs. Trimasse stops her raising a
question about the guidelines for avoiding the negative effects of
educator expectations.
Then Goali says: it is just a (ay) matter of:
- using sensitive information on very carefully.
-Being flexible in your use of group work strategies (not always
BAs in one group and experienced teacher in the other group)
-Making sure all the learners are encouraged.
- Monitoring your non-verbal behavior.

51. Suddenly, Omarakly says: as a conclusion to all that you said: I
think that (da) the basis of a positive educator-learner relationship
and positive classroom climate is self-esteem and self concept.
Self esteem is the value or esteem we place on our perceived
abilities, our bodies, our feelings and our social interactions. The
problem is that (da) many people, and learners specifically,
process a person‟s critical comments about himself or herself in
critical ways. These critical messages are internalized
(understood) as “I am a failure” rather than “I sometimes fail”.
Therefore, Profs: Trimasse, Hassim, Tamer, Jennifer, and others
should be aware of what they are communicating to learners
(TEFLers), both verbally and non-verbally.

52. Resuming her talk, Ahlam says: the third and the last point in
establishing positive socioemotional environment is creating
positive peer relationships. She says: peers play an important role
in determining the quality of the learning environment. Furthermore,
Ahlam emphasizes the importance of positive peer groups for
eliminating or preventing misbehavior in the classroom.
Again Mrs. Trimasse stops her asking another question: how can we
create the social conditions for effective learning in the
classroom?
Then, here comes the answer from Souba3i. He says:
Let your SS get to know you. Treat your SS with respect. Memorize
their names and how to pronounce them (A9louch instead of
Aklouch and Ait 7amou instead of Ait Hamou).
Build a sense of community in the classroom (not BAs in one side,
experienced in the other side, and the others in between. This is no
longer a community; it‟s an open gate to civil war, instead)

53. Here stands Elomari saying: but my classmates, the pressing
question is how can we create classroom climate?
Yes brother brahim! Says Takeddine. It is simply by creating a
learning milieu in which the focus is on learning which means that
it is learning-oriented classroom rather that work-oriented
classroom where the focus is on production. The foundation of
learning-oriented classroom is a system of critical attitudes. The
first critical attitude is RESPECT for the learners. The second is
CREDIBILTY; educators who are credible practice what they
preach.”LA TANHA 3AN KHOLO9IN WA TATI MITLAHO,
3ARON 3ALAYKA IDA FA3ALTA 3ADIMO”. The third critical
attitude is educators who hold themselves and their learners
accountable for learning that is taking place.

54. Omar continues saying it is also by motivating Ls because having
motivated learners such as TEFLers in class will make the educator‟s
task of managing the classroom easier ( except the case for ICT1
where everyone indulges in surfing the net or chatting while the poor
Afdel is still talking about Doodle. In fact, (LA HAYATA LIMAN
TUNADI).
Adding to what Omar said, Aboulahassan argues that the lack of
discipline in public schools is seen as the most serious problem
facing schools today. Although disciplinary problems impact on
school as a whole, it is the classroom teacher who is the first line of
defense (which means ALLAH IKON FL3WAN).
Then Amal HAfidi stands to intervene. She says: I agree with you
Mustapha, but how can we address disciplinary problems?
Before Mustapha could even respond, Mrs. Trimasse reproaches
Amal and says Voice Projection, How many times shall I repeat
this?!

55. Mustapha then continues saying: It is merely by establishing Rules
and procedures. For example, Routines for accomplishing lessons,
interaction between teacher and Ls (respect), and communication
between Ls (groups). Also, by developing a positive classroom
discipline policy; this system usually consists of three parts: Rules
that learners must follow + consequences of breaking rules +
Rewards when they follow rules.
This policy aims to establish a fair and consistent way of
promoting good behavior and dealing with misbehavior. Moreover,
says Mustapha, the participation of Ls in the establishment of
classroom discipline policy is so crucial (even Mrs. Trimasse does
not agree), there should be an agreement with Ls, and the
formulation of the policy should be through the use of the first
person i.e. “we” and “our”.

56. Ok Mustapha! Says Amal
But these Rules should be few in number and linked to the school
rules, stated positively, be teachable and enforceable, frequently read
through and referred to.
That‟s true nodded Mustapha!
After that, youness intervenes by saying: for managing learner
behavior, I have a solution, we can just make a connection between
the management functions which are 3c‟s: Content, Conduct, and
Context and the level of control, where the level of control varies
from preventive and supportive to corrective. If the learner‟s
behavior, says youness, is desirable, the educator will focus on
prevention. If minor disruptions occur, the educator may select
redirection. When behaviors become severely disruptive, team-
support steps may be utilized.

57. Here again comes the hero!
As a conclusion to all that you said, the teacher‟s personal style,
the learner‟s personality, the success of past disciplinary
approaches with that learner and the specific circumstances
surrounding the misbehavior should all be considered in
determining the most appropriate step to be taken.

58. Ahah ! says Rahma.
I have got a poem entitled “ the 20-step discipline model”
Provide effective instruction
Help learners experience more success than failure
Recognize and reward desirable behavior
Send a preventive ‘I-message’ communicating desirable behavior
Give early attention to potentially disruptive learners
Change circumstances that may produce misbehavior
Use physical closeness to prevent misbehavior
Ignore minor disruptions and recognize behaviors
Send non-verbal message requesting a change in behavior
Ask for status or rule to redirect behavior
Request a change of behavior
Isolate the learner to keep a minor disruption from escalating
Send an ‘I-message’ communicating the effects of undesirable
behavior

59. Conduct a reference: no-lose conflict-resolution approach
Conduct a conference to develop a behavior-improvement contract
Implement a class ‘assertive discipline’ plan
Send the learner of ‘time-out’ to another classroom
Involve the parents in changing learner behavior
Involve the principal in changing learner behavior
Request that the learner be removed from the classroom.

60. Conclusion
In a nutshell, it became clear that the educator who is successful
in building learners‟ confidence, self-esteem, knowledge and
skills is the educator who exhibits the following aspects:
•Clarity in setting tasks and skills
•Enthusiasm for the learning area
•Care for the individual learner
•Consistency in encouragement and teaching style
•Encouragement to work cooperatively, as well as to learn
individual skills
•Utilization even of failures as learning experiences
•Expectations that learners will succced.

Lesson planning

64. Why is lesson planning important
Clarity • Being clear on what you want to teach.
• Being clear about which strategies and methods that will
be employed to reach the learning goals.
Unpredictable • Being ready to cope with whatever happens.
Events
framework • Give your teaching a framework, an overall shape.
Reminder • A reminder for the teacher when they get distracted.
Commitment • It suggests a level of professionalism and real
commitment.

65. How is lesson planning important for the teacher and the learners?
For teachers For studtents
 They don‟t have to think on • They realize that the teacher

68. Evaluation of the lesson plan:
- The teacher should make sure that the objectives
have been accomplished.
-Make sure that Ss have practiced what you are
asking them to do for evaluation.
- During actual classroom interaction, the instructor
needs to make adaptations and Ss.
The lesson plan is it curriculum centered or learner centered?
Learner cenetered:
Take 3 things into account: feelings, interests, needs in terms of
basing the choice of materials according to their needs,
autonomous.

70. The collaborative exchange of thoughts, feelings, or ideas between
two or more people, result in a reciprocal effect on each other.
Through interaction, Ss can increase their language store as they

73. Questioning Strategies
Key to create an interactive language classroom is the initiation of
interaction by the teacher.
 T questions give ss the impetus and opportunity to produce lang
comfortably.
T questions can serve to initiate a chain reaction of ss interaction
among themselves.
T questions give the instructor immediate feedback about ss
comprehension.
T question provide ss with opportunities to find out what they
think by hearing what they say.

74. Kinds of questions are effective in the class:
 Start with display questions that aims to elicit information
already known.
 Refrential question that request information not known by the

75. Some kind of questions discourage interuction:
 too much class spent on display questions
 A question that insults a student‟s intelligence by being so
obvious that s will think it‟s too silly to bother answering.
 Vague questions that are worded in abstract or ambiguous
language.
Questions that are stated in a complex language.
 Random questions that don‟t fall into a logical and well-
planned sequence.

76. Group work
• Generates interactive lang: provides opportunities for students
to practice in negotiation of meaning.
• Offers an embracing affective climate: no shiness or fear of
public speaking.
• Promptes learner responsibility and autonomoy: difficult to
hide in small groups
• A step toward individualizing instruction: help students with
varying abilities to accomplish separate goals.

77. Avoiding group work
The control of the class is absent
The large groups
The use of native language
The errors will be reinforced
Individual work preference

78. Considerations for group work
o Taking cultural expectations and belief systems into account
o Arranging the class space for active student participation
o Emphasizing the importance of group work
o Teaching ss how to work cooperatively
o Assigning group roles

79. Course book

prepared by: Mohamed ait madani youssef

83. Using this technique with
adolescents
Minor modification are necessary.
Adolescents need to learn to be more independent
and self-reliant.

84. Homework setting
Setting should be :
Quiet
Devoid of distractions loud noises siblings and so
forth.
Parents still need to ensure that the student is
working rather than getting in other activities.

85. Introduction to assessment
Effective assessment becomes vital part of
teacher’s job.
In the years teachers wrote only “well done”,
“poor” or “see me”.
There should be a how and why.

86. Difference between Formative assessment
