How to Manage Teaching and Learning

This document discusses classroom management strategies for teachers. It covers physical presence in the classroom, using one's voice effectively, marking lesson stages, seating arrangements, student groupings, and evaluating lessons. Some key points are: teachers should be proximate to students and make eye contact; vary voice volume but don't shout; start and end lessons with clear routines; consider orderly rows, circles or separate tables for seating; and use whole class, group, pair and individual work, getting feedback to evaluate lessons.

“How to manage teaching and learning” (by Jeremy Harmer) Students: Martin, Melisa Paci, Ma. Belén
Teacher’s physical presence • Aspects of class management to consider:  Proximity: how close or distant the teacher is from students.  Appropriacy: the way in which teachers stand or sit in the classroom RELATIONSHIP  Movement: how much the teacher moves around the classroom.  Contact: making eye contact with students, listening to what they have said and responding appropriately.
Teacher's chief tools: the voice Three issues to consider:  Audibility: teachers need to be audible/ but not necessary to shout Balance between audibility and volume  Variety: teachers should vary the quality of their voices and the volume.  Conservation: teachers need to take care of their voices Breathe correctly
Marking the stages of a lesson  Beginning: It's useful to start with a routine and introduce the topic for the class.  •Development: Teachers should mark the ending and beginning of activities through clapping, speaking loudly or saying a rhyme.  •Ending: The closure of the class should include a summary of what was taught.
Seating arrangement
Seating arrangement •Orderly rows:  ADVANTAGES:  Clear view  Lecturing and discipline much easier  Easy to walk along the isles.  Teachers work with the whole class.  DISADVANTAGES:  No possibility of eye contact
Seating arrangement • Circles:  teacher's position: less dominating  feeling of equality • Horseshoes:  teacher located in a central position, much opportunity to get close to students.  Students share feelings and information through talking, eye contact and body movements.
Seating Arrangement •Separate tables:  ADVANTAGES:  The teacher can walk around to check homework and help the students.  Atmosphere: less hierarchical.  DISADVANTAGES:  Students may not like to be with the same colleagues.  Whole-class teaching seems more difficult.
Student groupings  ADVANTAGES:  - Whole class: sometimes, the best type of organisation.  - Groupwork: a cooperative activity, students participate more equally Independence  - Pairwork: attractive to students  - Solowork: students work at their own speed, more time to think individually.
Student groupings  DISADVANTAGES:  - Groupwork/pairwork:  * students may not like their partners.  * one student dominating the group.  * more disruptive behaviour
Evaluation of the success or failure  Accept new ideas and techniques to take into the classroom by means of:  Getting feedback from the students: orally or asking them to write their answers.  Inviting a colleague into the classroom to observe the class.  Recording the lesson.  Assessing how well the students are progressing.
