Agenda

A list of classroom activities for that

day, usually written on the
blackboard in the order that the
activities will be covered.
 Classroom logistics
Taking attendance at the beginning of each class:
reading names out loud, or passing around a sheet
that all students have to sign.
Assigning one student (a monitor) to collect the homework and bring it to your desk.

Using monitors to distribute the papers and collect it after the activity.

Making sure that students have enough room to move around freely in the classroom – having
enough space for physical activities, performance, etc.
Classroom logistics

Practical arrangements needed to make

the classroom operate successfully,
e.g. Attendance, homework
collection, paper distribution and
collection, student movement, etc.
 Classroom management
Read the following description of a class. What do all these
elements of the class have in common?

The chairs are arranged in a semi-circle facing the teacher.

Student motivation is generally high.

The teaching approach uses TPR, real-world exposure and

realia. It emphasises communication, and is relaxed.

Lessons are well-planned.

The teacher has effective and fair disciplinary techniques that

are applied consistently.
Classroom management

All aspects of the classroom the

teacher may have some influence
over, e.g. Phsycial arrangement of
space, student motivation, teaching
approach, lesson plans, disciplinary
techniques, etc.

Consequences

Results of an event or a behaviour. In

the classroom, it usually refers to the
results of negative behaviour.
 Consistency
The teacher establishes a set of rules in the first class. These
include rules of the institution, and a list of class rules compiled
by the students. The students are told the punishment for the
institutional rules and decide the consequences for their class
rules.

For example. Rule: No fighting in class. Consequences: first

offense – warning. Second offense – write a punishment essay.
Third offense – get sent to the principal's office.

These rules and consequences are made into a poster and stuck on
the wall in both the students' native language and English.

Every time any student breaks the rules, the teacher points out
what they wrote on the poster and applies the consequences in a
fair manner.
Consistency

Always reacting in the same way, or

applying rules and expectations in the
same way for all students at all times.
Diagnostic tests
Elementary Diagnostic Test

My boyfriend ____ to the pub every night. (go / goes / goed)

Simon ____ very tall. (is / are / has)
She ____ like football very much. (doesn't / don't / hasn't)
How ____ does one lesson cost? (many / much / is)
There ___ a big supermarket next to my house. (is / are / has)
I ____ agree with you. (don't / am not/ doesn't)
Neil can't ____ tennis. (playing / to play / play)

Why would a teacher use this test at the beginning of a

course? What would you do if all your students got the
fourth question wrong?
Diagnostic tests

Tests given at any time during the

term, frequently at the beginning, in
order to determine student strengths
and weaknesses. Results provide help
in planning future lessons.
Established framework
A teacher organises his class, every day, like this:
Taking attendance
Checking homework
Reviewing grammar and vocabulary from last class
Warm-up activity for new class
A listening activity
A speaking activity
A reading activity
A writing activity
A game
A quiz
Established framework

The predictable organisation of the

classroom and lessons.
Facilitate

The students want to make a presentation but they

have no resources or materials. The teacher makes it
easier for them by taking them to the computer lab
and library to research their presentation, and giving
them materials such as posters, transparencies and
markers.
Facilitate

To make easier; help something

happen more smoothly.
Identifier
Identifier

Something that gives a name or an

identity to individuals. In a
classroom, this can be a name tag,
name cards on desks, group names,
etc.
Labelling
Labelling

Classifying people (students) into

categories, using incomplete
information. Calling a student
“stupid” or “lazy” is labelling.

can use for planning all of their
lessons. The form is general enough
that it can be adapted to the specific
needs of each class.

Proactive vs. reactive
Teacher A knows that one group of students in her
class is very talkative and disturbs the other class by
making noise. She decides to make a seating plan
that organises the class in such a way that loud
students are separated.
Proactive
Teacher B doesn't know the class very well, so she
lets them sit wherever they want. Soon, there are
problems with noise levels in the classroom. The
teacher decides to punish the talkative group by
separating them.
Reactive
Proactive vs. reactive

In this module, proactive teacher

behaviours are those that anticipate
student behaviours and reactions and plan
the classroom to avoid problems. Student
behaviour then tends to be more positive
and constructive than negative. Reactive
behaviours are those that react to student
behaviour after a problem develops.
