Abstract

This research aims to explore teachers’ perspectives on managing disruptive student behavior in EFL classrooms. It employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews and observations. The subject of this study is an English teacher at SMAN 9 Kepulauan Selayar who deals with disruptive student behavior in EFL classrooms. The results of the research show that teachers have diverse perspectives on five types of disruptive behavior: classroom disruption, aggression, confrontation, disengagement, and wandering. Most of these behaviors, such as classroom disruption, verbal aggression, disengagement, and wandering, are perceived negatively because they disrupt students’ concentration, hinder the learning process, and create an unproductive classroom atmosphere. Meanwhile, teachers exhibit a more neutral perspective toward physical aggression, passive aggression, and confrontation due to the limited occurrence of these behaviors or differing interpretations of them.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges faced by English teachers in improving learning effectiveness through classroom management in EFL classrooms at the junior high school level. The study focuses on (1) identifying the main challenges encountered by teachers in managing EFL classrooms and (2) examining the strategies implemented by teachers to overcome these challenges and improve learning effectiveness. This research employed a descriptive qualitative research design conducted at SMPN 18 Makassar. The participants of the study were two English teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using the qualitative data analysis model proposed by Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that teachers faced several challenges, including students’ low basic English proficiency, lack of attention, discipline, and participation, differences in students’ characteristics and learning readiness, difficulties in using English as the medium of instruction, and school environmental factors. To address these challenges, teachers applied several strategies such as establishing classroom rules and agreements, using engaging activities, gradually using English during instruction, providing appreciation and motivation, and implementing group or pair work. These strategies helped create a more conducive classroom environment, maintain classroom control, and improve student engagement and learning effectiveness in EFL classrooms.
