In Unit 5 I learned about classroom management. I understood, how can a teacher use her/his physical presence and voice while teaching. Good eye contact helps learners to understand what they should do and also to maintain discipline. Gestures with an obvious meaning will add visual interest and reduces teacher talking time. A teacher’s voice can be used to liven up or relax the students.
As an ideal seating plan I would choose the circle or horseshoe arrangement, because it is the best arrangement for a medium size group. The teacher here does not dominate the class, but still can keep good eye contact. It is easier for students to concentrate on the lesson.
The unit also made me understand what are the advantages and disadvantages of different student groupings. I received useful advice on how to reduce teacher talking time and also on how to give individual attention and instructions to the students. Maintaining discipline is a difficult task, a good teacher should know about the background of disciplinary problems and prevent as many as possible.
