Classroom discipline

1- I prepare a chart of rules and hang it on the wall to

enable my learners to know about what is allowed to do

and what isn't allowed to do inside the class so that the

process of presentation goes on without any interruption.

2- I create an atmosphere of friendship with my learners

like a father with his sons and daughters.

3- I use smiles, quietness, patience and eye-contact to

my learners.

4- I use democratic dialogues, phrases of encouragement

and praise to any of my learners' achievement and I avoid

any phrases of threat or anger.

5- I use non-verbal signals to show my refusal to the

naughty learner's misbehavior, like: shaking my head or

nodding, using my finger or my hand to show disagreement.

6-I use verbal signals to stop that misbehavior like:

( No, stop that.Sh.. Sh.. , Could pay your attention to the

lesson , please?)

7- I can circulate the class till I reach the naughty learner's

seat and urge him gently and quietly to stop that

misbehavior.

8- I pay the learner's attention to the overhead projector to

involve him.

9- I involve or engage the learner in a group work. He can

be chosen as a leader, a presenter, a writer or an organizer

 of a group work, for example.
