DESCRIPTION
Workshop about how to improve the classroom atmosphere and avoid boredom among the students
Citation preview
“Help me, this class is a drag!!”Classroom dynamics
Teachers or students?
I don’t like the book, it’s really boring
They don’t talk at all
He talks very quickly so I can’t understand him
I don’t feel confident enough to talk, I feel I
make a lot of mistakes
They just use their mothertongue
They don’t pay attention most of the
time
There’s no subject which can
motivate them
Are we managing the classroom
dynamics properly?
How can we improve them?
INTERACTIONWe must benefit from the
advantages that every natural interaction has, and bring it into
the classroom
Real communication
Emotional interaction
language interaction
INTERACTION
EMOTIONAL INTERACTION
• The teacher creates a climate of trust and respect. • The teacher encourages communication
among all members in the group (teacher – student / student – student).• Mistakes are seen as an essential part of
the learning process.
LANGUAGE INTERACTION
• Integrating interactive activities in order to train competences that we use in our mother tongue.• Encouraging the cooperation learning:
work in pairs and small groups. The students help each other as well as work and reflect together.
NEGOTIATION
The teacher gives an important role to the student and hands the reins of
his learning.
Rock against boredom
NEGOTIATION
• Establishing classroom rules negotiated with the students.• Students are integrated in the decisions
related to the aims selection.• The student can also choose contents
and activities.• The teacher accepts suggestions and
ideas from the students.
CLASSROOM PLANNING
• If there is no assortment, the interest and motivation can be slight.• The teacher must be flexible in order to
adapt himself to each situation. He has to be able to improvise in some cases.• The activities sequence must follow a
common aim.
DIVERSITY
CONCLUSION• The teacher creates an atmosphere of trust and encourages
fellowship and respect.• Classroom rules are to be established and negotiated among all
members in the group.• Cooperation learning is to be encouraged by the teacher in
order to create real communication among students.• Suggestions by students are to be borne in mind by the
teacher.• Students must be convinced that Mistakes are normal in their
learning process. They must not be corrected all the time.• Control classroom management/class planning: A balanced
blend of techniques, activities and materials is necessary to avoid yawning and boredom.
• Improvise when the situation requires it!
