Ayda, your post is so annoying!

 

first, the lady  teaches in Bahrain not Qatar!!

 

Second i found ur comment  really insulting and very rude!!

 

i come from this part of the world which you just labeled as *rich* and yes its true we have oil which is a blessing from God. but, that doesnt mean our children are brats or spoiled as you claim and have no respect to teachers! Excuse me, but your comment show how ignorant some teachers can be!!

 

 

I think the problem is that the students misbehave because they don�t understand the language. Norway, you need to educate urself and learn few Arabic words to communicate with the students.

 

here are few suggestions:

 

1 ) establish classroom rules, display it on a poster and ask the students to sign on it. and you can also send a copy home with the consequences for each behaviour.

 

for example, if a student  physically beat another student, they will be sent to the principal office / 10 minutes timeout / detention ... etc.

 

2 ) focus on rewarding the positive behavior, believe me it workkksssssssssssss!!

 

and suddenly the students will be competitive and eager to earn points. you can introduce a chart with students names on it and each time they do something good, or are behaving good give them something like pictures of soccer stars,  stickers, or give them a reward in the morning assembly.

 

3) overplan your lesson!! make sure to keep them engaged. boys at this level are so active and you need to keep them occupied all the time. prepare extra worksheets and provide some manipulatives in the class to be used. i dont know if u have a computer in the classroom but if you do, install some games and websites there are plenty of websites that can be used in the classroom and allow early finishers to use it. boys love playing on the computer.

 

4) be positive, and embrace the opportunity. Try to enjoy the experience and don�t show the students that you don�t  enjoy teaching  them.

 

 

first u must call the parents during the school hours don´t ignore bad behavior!  deal with it immediately.

find out who is the leader of the class and give him special  responsibility.

 

maybe they don´t understand the lesson so take two steps backwards.

 

use a film to teach a  new vocabulary. In my boys class I SHOWED THEM THE MOVIE "A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM"

they loved it and after the movie I hanged 25 new words from the movie on the board we translated them

and the last assignment was to tell the class about their favourite part.

GOOD LUCK Adva
