This unit covered classroom management. This focused on how to maintain a proper balance of teacher talk time and student talk time. Elements covered were how to use eye contact, gestures, and voice, student groupings, how to handle writing on the board (and how to avoid having one?s back to the class), giving individual attention, giving instructions, establishing rapport, and maintaining discipline. Pair work greatly increases student talk time, and the teacher sitting down takes the focus off the teacher and allows students to focus more on their work/activity. It is also critically important to not lose one?s temper in class.
