Task-based language teaching and classroom management in the efl classroom in Santiago
Abstract
40-to-45-student classrooms and time constraints are two of the most challenging factors causing unsuccessful teaching experiences for preservice teachers. The consequences have been: a) a great number of novice teachers leaving the school system, b) a constant fall in the quality of both processes, teaching and learning and c) major setbacks in the development of teachers’ classroom management skills. In explaining and studying the different trending communicative approaches and the impact on teachers’ skills for large classrooms, authors have suggested different specific strategies and activities; nevertheless, these have been proven unfruitful because of the great diversity of contexts. Contextualized research and constant support in the students’ field work are both essential to put methods, strategies and activities forward so as to cope with the abovementioned context, which is the main goal of the current work.
