Problems in Managing Elt Classroom

Abstract

This research study entitled “Problems in Managing ELT Classroom” attempted to find out the problems in managing ELT classrooms for effective English language teaching. This study accounts for the problems of classroom management in lower secondary and secondary level classes. For this purpose, I collected data in which total sample population of the study was sixty: fifty students and ten teachers. The students were selected by using random (simple random) sampling procedure and the teachers who were teaching at the same level were purposively selected. I developed a check list and questionnaire to collect the data and the data were analyzed descriptively. This study found that the condition of ELT classroom management was not satisfactory. The major problems were such as lack of furniture, teaching materials, proper maintenance of the classroom etc. This study consists of four chapters. Chapter one deals with the introduction to the research which includes introduction, review of the related literature, and objective of the study and significance of the study. Chapter two discusses the methodology adopted for the study in terms of sources of data, sample population, sampling procedure, tool for data collection, process of data collection and limitations of the study. Analysis and interpretation of the data are given in chapter three. The analysis is presented using three criteria viz. identification of problems of ELT classroom management, interpretation of the classroom observation and analysis. This thesis concludes major findings and recommendations / pedagogical implications in chapter four and ends with references and appendices.
