Teaching English as a foreign language

Abstract

The paper deals with the challenges faced by a teacher of English as a foreign language, starting from the consideration that every lesson will be successful if there is a good discipline. However, disciplining students requires a lot of thought, planning, and self-confidence and young teachers have the greatest trouble with class management. By using devices such as rewards, punishments, appearance, behaviour, and a wide range of interactive tasks (e.g. listening and writing), many of the problems may be overcome successfully.
