The course will introduce students to important aspects of classroom management: class size and mixed abilities, grouping students, and error correction and feedback. It will look at how teaching a large class differs from teaching one-to-one, how to teach different content, and issues in teaching different students and special educational needs (SENs). Students will be exposed to ways of organizing whole-class work, pair work and group work, and individualized work. Finally, the course will cover different types of students’ errors and how to deal with them, how to deliver supportive feedback, and ways of providing feedback for both written and spoken English. By the end of the course, students will have a fuller understanding of classroom management in English Language Teaching.
