Having worked through this unit there are several things that I’ve learned and been reminded of when managing the class room;
The size, age, level of English, nationality etc. of the students definitely plays a role since in how the class will be setup as one has to be sensitive for these factors.
I think one can easily make the mistake of taking up to much time through elaborate talking thus minimizing teacher talk time is important lest the students can become bored and lose interest,. Essentially the teacher has to strike a balance between sufficient concise instructions (talk time) and allowing students talk time. Utilising various aids such as mimes, clue cards, gestures etc. should therefore be used. I feel good proper planning as well as preparation for the lesson is equally important, this will include back up ideas in case plan A clearly doesn’t deliver the desired results.
One has to be forthcoming, approachable and show respect, in order to best manage the class, having said that I believe, passion, a positive attitude towards teaching and actual student progress will stand you in good stead.
