Those are eye contact, gesture, the voice. We learn how we can use them and what purpose they serve. It is also important to group studends in the class according to the main goal that you want to achieve. For example, it may help students to become more self-reliant or increase their talking time in the class. Such could be whole-class grouping, pairwork, working on their own, working in groups. Each has its pros and cons. The way the teacher organises his position and the position of the students also has great importance. Classroom arrangement and the teacher position depends on the type of activity in the class, the age of the students, their nationality, number and even personality. The teacher should pay attention to all of this. We also receive some advices about writing on the board.
