Successful Classroom Management in English Language Instruction

Abstract

The aim of this article is to emphasise the significance of adjusting classroom organisation and teaching techniques to primary students. To perform this task effectively, the teacher needs to be familiarised with the characteristics of a child's development and appropriate management skills. This paper is based on two theories related to early stage English instruction: (i) the Critical Period Hypothesis, and (ii) Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development. Applying this theoretical background knowledge to teaching practice would make the teacher more likely to succeed in language teaching.
