Abstract

The present study is concerned with classroom management: teachers' strategies to get their students in and out. Through this research, we attempt to examine the effect of classroom management in enhancing student’s achievement and their engagement during the learning process. This research is centered on three objectives. First, it studies whether EFL teachers of the department of English at University Mouloud Mammeri of Tizi-Ouzou implement the classroom management strategies proposed by Smith and Laslett (1993). Second, it aims to explore the extent to which teachers of the department of English at MMUTO are aware of the importance of greeting students in managing classrooms. Third, it strives to explore whether teachers end up lessons before dismissing the class. To reach these aims, the mixed-methods approach was adopted using both qualitative and quantitative method for collecting and analyzing data. For the collection of data, we opted for the use of three instruments; a questionnaire administrated to twenty six (26) teachers of first-year students, fifteen 15 classroom observations with a check-list of fourteen (14) items and a structured interview conducted with seven (7) teachers. This study is build around the theoretical framework of Smith and Laslett (1993). The findings resulting from the teachers’ questionnaire have shown that teachers of the department of English at MMUTO end up lessons before dismissing the class. In addition, the results of the teachers’ interview have revealed that teachers of the department of English at MMUTO implement the classroom management strategies proposed by Smith and Laslett. As for, the findings of the oral observations, they have shown that teachers of the department of English at MMUTO are aware of the importance of greeting students in managing classrooms.
