In this unit, we learned how to manage a class effectively. Firstly, we need to understand what is ?classroom management?, this term can be defined as the skill of organizing the class and students while maintaining discipline. There are several key elements that teachers need to use as eye contact with students, gestures, and voice to keep the class away from boredom but at the same time keeping the class in control. Other significant elements are how to group students and how to arrange the classroom, there is not a best way to seat our students, this will depend on the physical space and material available, as well as students? personality, age and culture. Other elements to keep in mind are the balance between teacher talking time and student talking time, the establishment of rapport and the maintenance of discipline. To conclude, I would like to highlight that there is not a secret recipe for perfect classroom management. However, it is fair to say that if teachers follow the directions given in this unit, they will be in a good path and once they get more experience in the field, they will be able to adapt these classroom management techniques to their necessities.
