Classroom Management
Classroom management involves everything that happens into the classroom, the
role of the teacher is to manage these inevitably situations in a proper manner in order to
carry on the class.
My thoughts and feelings on classroom management have changed before this
course with some important additions. I still feel that one of the most important factors
about classroom management are forming relationships because I believe that It is
essential to be in tune and be responsive to the students. Through the reading of some
papers and researches about classroom management I learned that teachers have to take
the work seriously and to be devoted, in order to feel confident about the teaching
process. After taking this course I now also understand that there are many forms to
evaluate students, giving more positive feedback than negative, using nonverbal and non
direct verbal interventions for minor misbehavior, etc. Another important point to
consider as a future teacher is the importance of the use of voice during lessons, a teacher
has to talk laud and clear to be understood for everyone.
I also learned that giving instructions is a crucial instance when we talk about
saving time, bad instructions can be a waste of this resource. There is another fact that
determines a good classroom management; it is the equitable participation among
students and the teacher, it has to be clear that when a language is been taught students
need to practice, that means, they need to talk. Another relevant factor is the idea of
different seating arrangement; it is a good initiative to organize the classroom in diverse
positions, with the proposal of better interaction among students and the teacher.
These are the points related to classroom management that called my attention
and that I learned the most, these factors are totally useful for me as a future teacher of
English as a foreign language because it is essential to know how to manage situations
that are inevitably present in the classroom.
