However, in practice, we start thinking that we will have to keep a number of people together in the same place. These are often the people who come from many different backgrounds and whose expectations differ. In this case, it becomes more and more difficult to appeal to every individual in class. Therefore, as teachers we should initially be trained on how to manage our classrooms and how to provide the necessary environment to put into practice  the things we have learned to teach a language. Obviously,  we need management skills as well as the language teaching skill. Actually, it is not as difficult as many people think. As teachers if we fulfill our duties properly, a well-managed class will ensue. In this study, therefore, the definition of class management is regarded roughly “to keep people from different environments directed to one single goal”. When this is accomplished, we are unlikely to live discipline problems. </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Hacettepe University}
