Managing Classroom
 Classroom Management
Classroom management influences the teaching and learning process, including

English in the class. According to McCreay (2013), classroom management is as the
methods and strategies an educator uses to maintain a classroom environment that is
conducive to students’ success in learning. Classroom management refer to what the teacher
does to organize students, space, time, and materials so that the student learning can take. It
is ability of the teacher to establish the social – emotional learning and effective learning
context.
The teachers do not only give the material for the students, but also give more
attention to their students. The teachers are required to have knowledge of classroom
management and apply it in order that they can achieve the goals. Classroom management
diminish students’ misbehavior and make student more controlled. It has a big role for
success of teaching.
 Component of Classroom Management

According Garret (2014) stated that classroom management as a process consisting of the
following five components areas: Organizing the physical design of Classroom, establish
rules and routines, developing caring relationships, implementing engaging and effective
instruction, and addressing discipline issues.
a) Physical Design of Classroom: The physical design lies in how the classroom is laid out,
where the students’ desks are, where the teacher’s desk is, where learning centers and
material are located, where heavily used items such as the pencil sharpeners are, and so
on.
b) Rules and routine: Classroom rules, though, are generally about overall conduct, whereas
routines are much more specific to certain tasks and usually provide some direction
about how these tasks should be accomplished, rather than seeking to prevent a particular
type of behavior.
c) Relationships: By having strong relationship with students, the classroom will be a place
for each member to express their feelings and work together.
d) Engaging and Motivating Instruction: engaging instruction involves using instructional
techniques that increase students’ motivation and interest in learning.
e) Discipline: Discipline is the required action by a teacher toward a student (or group of
students), after the student’s behavior disrupts the ongoing educational activity or breaks
a pre-established rule created by the teacher, the school administration or the general
society. Discipline, guiding children's behavior, or setting limits are all concerned with
helping children learn how to take care of themselves, other people, and the world
around them.
 How to Manage Classroom
 Respect between the students and the teacher. It is a necessary element in the
classroom so that students obey rules and regulations of the teacher and/or school.
 Keeping students involved and always making them feel like they are part of the
class.
 Interaction with the students. It is a teacher’s responsibility and a teacher should also
be encouraging to the students in all activities. By clearly interacting with the
students through eye contact, gestures, and voice projection a teacher can
communicate with students and encourage activity in the classroom.
 A teacher can use his or her voice to control the classroom environment. A clear,
understandable voice can hold students’ attention and get them involved in classroom
activities.
 A teacher can also use the students’ names to keep the classroom attentive and on
their toes. This is good for organizing activities and show interest in the students.
Using the students’ names can get the students attention and keep the classroom
controlled and interested in the material.
 Maintain Classroom Momentum
There are several ways to maintain classroom momentum such as the teacher should
have materials ready, handout stacked, and equipment set up before class, the teacher can
manage the time by set the timer, the teacher should be clear with the explanation and keep
on track with the material, but do not explain the material too detail, and the last but least the
teacher should plan a game to play in between materials.
 Seating Arrangement of Classroom Management
Seating arrangement has necessary role in teaching-learning activities. Its arrangement
depends on class size, number of students, type of chairs and tables in the room, goals of
teaching, or type of activity to take place in the classroom. According to by Harmer (2005),
there are several ways to arrange the seating in English classroom:
a) Orderly Rows
When the students sit in rows in the classroom, there are obvious advantages. It
means that the teacher has a clear view of all the students and the students can all see
the teacher and teacher can also walk up and down if there is an aisle and can have
personal interaction with the students.
b) Circle and Horseshoes

In a horseshoe, the teacher will probably be at the open end of arrangement since
that may well be where the board, overhead projector or tape recorder is situated.
c) Separate Tables
When students sit in small groups at individual tables, the atmosphere in the class
is much less hierarchical than other arrangements. It is much easier for the teacher to
work at one table while the others get on with their work. In separated classroom
students might see the teacher walks around to check the student work and helps if
they have difficulties.
 The Benefit of Classroom Management
According to Linsin (2011), implementation of classroom management. It could get
some benefits are:
1) Peace
Your students will be calmer and more comfortable in their surroundings knowing
they can go about their day without the nervous stress of interruptions, drama, and
tension.
2) Trust
When you’re true to your word, your trust with students will grow stronger every
day. Going back on your word by ignoring your plan, however, either by taking
matters into your own hands or by doing nothing at all, will cause your students to
question your intentions and grow evermore distrustful of you.
3) Kindness
As a result of following your classroom management plan, you’ll no longer be
tempted into angry confrontation or cutting sarcasm. This frees you to model
kindness without being viewed as a hypocrite.
4) Concentration
With the elimination of noise, chatter, and interruptions comes better concentration
and faster academic progress. Students in classrooms with strong classroom
management are able to focus on their schoolwork without the ever-present
possibility of yet another disruption.
5) Fair Accountability
When you follow your plan, you can be sure you’re holding students accountable in a
way that is fair to everyone. Uncertainty is thrown out the door. You can know that
you’re upholding the highest ethics while managing your classroom without guilt or
second thoughts.
When the teacher reached the goals, it could get some benefit. Linsin (2011) stated when
the teacher implementing the classroom management, not only the teacher can get benefit of the
classroom management but also for the students because there are many advantages in
implementing of classroom management are:
1) Realizing the situation and condition of class, as a learning environment that enables
participants’ students to develop their skills as much as possible.
2) Eliminating the obstacles that may hinder the realization learning interaction.
3) Provide and arrange facilities and media learning support and enable students to learn
appropriate with social, emotional, and intellectual class.
4) Nurture and guide the students according to social background, economic, cultural
and individual properties, in implementing classroom management students are able
to think calmly without feeling strained in receiving lesson.
