 HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THE
CHILDREN IN YOUR CLASSES TO
REMEMBER YOU?
WHAT
Classroom dynamics involves the
interaction between students and
teachers in a classroom
community.
THE PURPOSE
The Purpose of studying classroom
dynamics is to learn how to set up a
positive classroom atmosphere
where students feel comfortable
learning and communicating with
other students and teacher.
Good classroom dynamics
consist in the engagement
of every body in the
classroom.
When I speak English I …
feel shy feel confident
feel embarrassed feel challenged
feel happy feel tongue-tied
feel frightened feel anxious
feel like a different person

Jill Hadfield, 1992, p37
THE ACTIVITIES
 Songs
 Games
 Energizer
 Projects
 Jokes
 Riddles
 Teamwork
WHY SONGS ?
 Songs promote listening exercises n
practices
 Nice way to introduce a topic, grammar
and structures
 They promote the practice of
pronunciation
 Introduce vocabularies
WHY GAMES?
 Provide a nonthreatening environment
for coping with new language learning.
 Effective Learning. A child who
encounters a new English words,
expression, or pattern while she is
immersed in a game, is far more
motivated to learn it and much more
likely to internalize it than those who do
not.
 When playing, singing and
learning are integrated into a
total learning experience, the
combination is very powerful.

Asia,2003)

You put your right hand in
You put your right hand out
You put your right hand in
And you shake it all about
And then you do the hokey pokey
And you turn yourself around
And that’s what it’s all about!
