Measures for indisciplined behivours ( by Harmer)
1) When working in whole class work, the teacher should not speak too much. 2) When organizing pair work, the teacher should give the clearest instructions. If necessary, the teacher should demonstrate with one student first. 3) Although pair work and group work can provide students more chances for practice, individual study should not be totally neglected.
Functions of questioning:
•to focus students’ attention; •to invite thinking and imaginations; •to check understanding; •to stimulate recall of information; •to challenge students; •to assess learning.
