"Organizing the Classroom Environment for Language Learning"
Teachers of EFL face challenges of multi-level classes, brief instructional time, and high pressure toward student achievement.
How can teachers organize classrooms and instruction in ways that use both learners' and teachers' time to achieve efficient and effective learning for children in EFL settings? This demonstration will look
at three areas of classroom management:
· Managing the physical environment
· Managing the social environment
· Managing instructional delivery
The presenter will describe practices -- based both on effectiveness research on teaching and learning and on the experience of reflective teachers -- that will help teachers to create learning environments
that lead to successful language acquisition and learning.
