This entire unit was about learning to manage a class. At first, I learnt that there are three different methods of communicating with the students. Good eye contact is important to establishing good rapport with the students. Gestures help increase the pace of a lesson or can convey the meaning of language. Using your voice can help control a class. All of these three methods do help throughout a lesson and it is important to switch between these methods. Next, I learned about grouping students, there is Whole-class grouping, students working on their own, pairwork, and groupwork. Each of these groupings has its pros and cons, and it is important to know what works best during class. There are also many different types of classroom arrangements. I also learnt about TTT, its advantages and disadvantages as well as the benefits for STT. In all, it is important that in class, the teacher maintain discipline and not let students get carried away. There are certain reasons for problem behavior, but there are some ways to help prevent it as well as responding to problem behavior. Throughout this entire lesson, I discovered what it might be like being a teacher and how to react and handle certain situations.
