3. Classroom Management
• Involves everything that a teacher
must do to achieve his/her
teaching objectives
• It includes preparation of plans
and materials, structuring of
activities into time blocks,
grouping students, plans for
transition periods--changing from
one activity to another or from
one place to another--student
involvement and motivation, and
adequate control of pupil
behavior.

4. The teacher in the classroom
• The physical presence of the teacher plays
a very important part in the management
of the classroom. The degree to which
teachers are aware of what is going on
makes the difference between successful
and less satisfactory lessons.

teachers talking time (TTT)
• Teachers need to offer students the right kind of
talking, that is to say the teacher talking quality
(TTQ) has to be considered when helping
students to understand and acquire the language.
• Good teachers use their common sense and
experiences to make the balance right.
