Abstract

Classroom management is vital in educating young English learners since children have weak self-control and teaching youngsters is different from teaching middle schoolers and adults. This study investigates the classroom management tactics used by English instructors at a private primary school, the teachers' motives for applying them, and the kids' impacts. Two English professors and 12 students participated. Different age and experience levels teach English. The researcher picked the 12 pupils because they could provide strategy knowledge. Classroom observation, teacher interviews, and a questionnaire provided the data. The strategies address three areas. Physical environment focuses on seating arrangement, sight, sound, comfort, and whiteboard and equipment usage; psycho-social management focuses on rules, feedback, and incentives; and classroom activity management manages time, solo, pair, and group work, and monitors the class. Reasons for using classroom management tactics include making the teaching-learning process operate smoothly, motivating students, supporting them in completing tasks, increasing classroom discipline, and building social skills. Students were more disciplined, pleased in the learning process, knew the lesson's goal, and were more focused and actively participated in learning when classroom management tactics were used.
