Classroom Management and Discipline in the ESL Classroom

Reference :  http://suite101.com/article/classroom-management-and-discipline-in-the-esl-classroom-a235894

         Today I read article about Classroom Management and Discipline in the ESL Classroom. The best way to deal with discipline issues in the EFL classroom is to have a good lesson that is active and encourages the participation of every student in the room. An active student is not usually a problem student. In this article have some common problems to be found in an ESL class and ways to solve them.

      When Students Keep Using their Native Language teachers must emphasize that regular use of a student's language means that learning English will be slower and that they are missing out on valuable opportunities to use English in authentic situations. They can encourage students to use English orally by explaining that all other activities can be in their language at certain times but that oral activities must always be in English.

      If the student is shy, is being dominated or intimidated by other students teacher must using pair work helps to get quiet students talking as they are under less pressure in small groups. Teachers can also allow them to write down what they are going to say before they say it so that the risk element a spontaneous response requires is removed.

      Students do not feel like working. They may find the topic uninteresting. Teacher should a juicy, well-pitched theme chosen according to students' interests or experience will motivate them automatically. The age and culture of students needs to be taken into account when choosing a theme.

     The activities, students can be given a non-production role or acting as a teacher's assistant instead of participating in the exercise.

      Teachers need to be fair and friendly at the same time to control of a class.

Today, I learned  about how to design the syllabus and how to write the lesson plan. It’s very important for me because I must design the syllabus and write the lesson plan to use in the future.

       Design the syllabus. It’s has 4 unit include local, regional, global and glocal . Teacher should design the syllabus by communicative language teaching and teach from easy to hard.

       How to write the lesson plan. It’s must be consistent with 4c such as English for communiction, English for culture, English for connection and English for community.

 i+1=comprehensible Input

input ---> process ---> out put ---> out come

i=input (background knowledge from students)

i+1 = Students must have background knowledge and teacher will give new knowledge for students.

             In the objective must clear, specific and concise for students easier to understand.  

            

             I think the lesson plan is important because I must use in the future. I must write the lesson plan correctly and I must know the principle to write the objectives.

            Today, this is my third in curriculum and learning management in English. I have learned about teaching method that my friends presented. They presented about Task based learning, Project based lerning,listening,speaking,writing,and reading teaching.

              First, Task Based Learning means learning to focuses on workload or learning that the students have learned from practice workload. And use this knowledge to perform the tasks assigned to accomplish. The teacher must have the feedback of the work. That is inductive learning.

           Secound,Project Based Learning is learning to use the issue as an incentive to the students the need to pursue knowledge to solve problems. Emphases on the students decide what they want in pursuit of knowledge. And know how to

           Third,Listening teacning,  Listening skills are vital for learners. Listening is the most skill frequently used. Learners need practice the skills and ability to listen and understand the message has been listening. Teachers should have the knowledge and techniques teaching listening skills. There are three steps for the listening process 1. Pre-listening <give information> 2. While-listening <practice>3. Post-listening <write a summary>

          Fourth, Speaking teaching, speaking skills in English. Focus on Accuracy, Vocabulary, Grammar, Patterns. So, activities with the learners to practice speaking skills. They focus on the activities that the students need to practice, or by the sentence structure speaking majority.

              Fifth, Reading teaching they presented about Reading skills in English is a skill that can be trained to the learner and abilities better. Teachers should have the knowledge and techniques for teaching reading skills to students.
            Last,Writing teacning, Writing is a communication to others to know by text. Writing skills need to start by creating a system of writing from Controlled Writing to Less Controlled Writing and to  Free Writing. Teachers should have the knowledge and techniques teaching Writing skills.Writing skill focus on Fluency, Accuracy, Vocabulary, Grammar, Pattern Content.

           In conclusion, today I have learned teaching method. Presentations of my friends have changed from last week. All presentation is well. After my friend presented I understand and know the meaning. It does can improve me about skills. That we can apply in writing lesson plans.

Inside Classroom

Today we’re going to present about English Teaching Methods that teacher told us to find the information about these in pair work. There are 3 groups to present that are belief, contented based learning, and problem based learning.

The first group is Belief of language teaching they start presented about it so I think Belief isn’t teaching methods but it is the principle or based for teaching like communicative approach. Teacher told students about belief. It isn’t true or false. Then belief is important for them to planning the lesson

            The second Content based learning is a learner is successful when the focus is on content rather than on mastery of language. CBL integrates the learning of language with the learning of some other content. CBL is the method that can motivate students to learn more and learn faster. Students learn language and content within the context of authentic material and task. CBL is method that student learning by doing. So, CBL can help students to learn better.

            The last group 3 to present about Problem based learning is the method that depends on the problems or conditions. Teacher gives the problem to students to learn how to solve the problem. In this method can help them to collaborative learning. It is great for students to practice analysis and critical thinking and self-directed learning.

             To sum up, all of methods that we presented are important for teacher and students. It can help teacher to planning the lesson what method is appropriate for students. So, when I’m an English teacher.I will choose the main principle to design my teaching for teach student in the future.
