CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Problem
The success of the learners in the learning is determined by the
teachers strategy in manage the classroom. When the teacher is constantly
redirecting students or handling behavior problems, she loses crucial
teaching time. Classroom management strategies help create an organized
classroom environment that's conducive to teaching.
Classroom Management refers to the ways in which students
behaviour, movement and interaction during a lesson are organized and
controlled by the teacher to enable teaching to take place most effectively.1
Teachers can minimize behaviours that impede learning for both
individual students and group students by executing effective classroom
management strategies.
Effective classroom management paves the way for the teacher to
engage the students in learning. Effective classroom management focuses
largely on compliance or the instructions that teachers may give to make
sure that the students are sitting in their seats, following directions,
listening attentively etc. Classroom management also encompasses that
teachers do to improve student learning which would include factors like
behaviour, positive attitude, motivating statements, respectful and fair
treatment of students, unbiased behaviour, happy facial expressions.

Classroom environment is also a major factor which includes a welcoming
well-lit classroom filled with learning materials that stimulate specific
learning activities in students.
Efficient classroom management also helps teachers to get good
quality work from students, the ways teachers expect the students to
behave to fellow students and the agreement that the teacher makes with
the students through verbal and body language. The types of texts,
materials and learning resources that teachers use in the class and the kinds
of learning experiences that the teachers design to engage student interests,
passions and intellectual curiosity is also a part of proper classroom
management. Uninteresting learning materials, poorly designed lesson
plans, unclear instructions could lead to student disinterest , behavioural
problems such as unruly and disorganized classes. Thus good classroom
teaching is directly related to good classroom management.
Based on the researcher’s preliminary research at eleventh grade
majoring in Science 3 of MAN Koto Baru Padang Panjang related to the
process of the researcher got several problems. The first problem was the
teacher felt difficult to manage large class. Some causes of difficulties are
the students didnt focus in learning, they were busy talking with their
friends and also doing others activities.
The second problem was the strategies used by the teacher in
managing the class was not effective. Teacher didn’t give attention toward
whole students in the class. He only focused to the students who sit at the
6
front line. So that, others students didn’t get information about the material
maximally.
The last problem was lack of the students participation in the class,
it was shown that during the learning processthe students had lack of
participation in sharing and giving argumentation. Discussion ran
monotonous without any various responses and so on. commonly when
astudent ask question, other students seemed lack participation to share
argumentation, ideas andopinion. they also had lack of asking question
during discussion. even moderator and lecturer offered chance to take part
actively by asking question, giving opinion and ideas. To engage the
students in Participation in a classroom is an important strategy of
teaching.It provides the students opportunity to receive input from fellow
students, to apply their knowledge and to enhance public speaking skills.
From the Participation of teachers can get a more accurate idea that what is
the understanding level of students about the concept being taught
Based on the preliminary research above, the researcher was
interested in conducting a research about English Teacher’s strategies in
managing a large class in teaching English. So, the researcher wants to
know “English Teachers’ Strategies in Managing a Large Class in

limit the problem that focus on teacher strategies in managing a large class
in teaching English at the eleventh grade majoring in science 3 of MAN
Koto Baru Padang Panjang.
D. Formulation of The Problem
In this research, the researcher want to do the research based on the
limitation of the problem above, the problem of the study is formulated
into the following questions: What strategies are used by the teacher in
managing large class at the eleventh grade majoring in science 3 of
MANKoto Baru Padang Panjang?

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A. Review of Related Theory
1. Classroom Management
a. Definitions of Classroom Management
Classroom management is a variety of teacher actions
designed to facilitate teaching and learning in the classroom.
Classroom management usually includes actions taken by teachers
to establish order, engage students, and / or elicit their cooperation.
Classroom management is a set of activities to develop
students desirable behavior and reduce or eliminate
undesirable behavior, develop interpersonal relationship and
socio-emotional climate positive and to develop and maintain
effective classroom organization and productive.2The classroom
environment not only provides a context for learning and includes
the physical space, furnishings, resources and materials, but also
the class atmosphere, participantsattitudes and emotions, and the
social dynamics of the learning experience.
There are newer perspectives on classroom management that
attempt to be holistic. One example is affirmation teaching, which
attempts to guide students toward success by helping them see how
their effort pays off in the classroom. It relies upon creating an
2. Mulyadi, Classroom Management:Mewujudkan Suasana Kelas yang Menyenangkan Bagi siswa, (Malang:UIN Malang Press), 2009, p.2-4
10
environment where students are successful as a result of their own
efforts.
Classroom management refers to those activities necessary
to create and maintain an orderly learning environment such as
planning and preparation of materials, organization, decoration of
the classroom and certainly the establishment and enforcement of
routines and rules.3 Classroom management of teacher is a crusial
aspect to appear the effective learning in achives a success in
learning process. It consist of how teachers in managing the class
and raise behavior of their students.
Although there are many strategies involved in managing a
classroom, a common denominator is making sure that students
feel they are in an environment that allows them to achieve. In
other words with the skills in the classroom management of the
students would indirectly participate in the strategy made by the
teacher, which is the goal of the teacher is to make the classroom
environment conducive and active in the lesson.Oliver and Reschly
state that managing the class is teachers’ability to organize
classroom and manage the behavior of their students are critical to
positive educational outcomes.4
The researcher concludes that clasroom management is
teacher’s action to create an environment that support teaching
3Oon Seng Tan, Richard D. Parsons,Stephanie Lewis Hinson& Deborah Sardo-Brown, Educational psychol-ogy: A practitioner-researcher approach, 2003, ( Australia: Thomson)
4. Oliver & Reschly, The Effective Classroom Management:Teacher Preparation and Professional Development,2007
11
learning activities and strategies of teacher that create and
maintain an orderly learning environment.
b. The Goal of Classroom Management
The main goal of classroom management to enhance
students’ social and moral growth. That is how teacher achieves
order is as important as whether a teacher achieves order. A well-
organized classroom is a classroom in which students know how to
effectively make use of the classroom and its resources. The goals
of classroom management are :
1. To create and maintain a positive, productive learning
environment.
This goal is not meant for absolute control or to create an inert,
docile, and totally compliant classroom and student body. Rather,
an effective classroom management is to maintain students’
interest, motivation and involvement. Thus, the focus is on
activities that create positive, productive and facilitative learning
environment.
2. To support and foster a safe classroom community.
It means that students are allowed to make the connections
needed for learning to take place. Each student needs to feel
comfortable enough to discuss their previous understanding
without fear of being ridiculed for their misconceptions.5
5AsiaEuniversity, Classroom Management Chapter 9. P:233-134
12
All action taken by the teacher should be focused on
minimizing disruptions and fostering an environment where
students can learn. According to Evertston and Weinstein
emphasize that classroom management has two goals:
1. Creating an environment for academic learning.
Academic learning refers to learning content specified in
state content standard such as learning to read and write,
learning to reason, learning to science, math, and social studies
and so on.
2. Creating an environment for social-emotional learning.
Social-emotional learning promotes growth in social skills
and the ability to express emotion maturely. Classrooms
are well managed only when the teacher create environments
that promote both of this kind of learning.6
Some of the teaching objectives focus on expected
academic behaviors, appropriate use of materials and learning
centers, and cooperations with peers. So, teacher should pay a role
to create a community of learners where students play an active
part in forming their environment, understand their role students,
and learn how to work effectively as an individual and with peers.
In addition, Cece Wijaya mentions several purposes of
classroom management:
6Carolyn M. Evertson, Carol S. Weinstein, Handbook of Classroom Management: Research, Practice and
Contemporary Issues, 2006
13
1. In order that the teaching-learning process can be done to the
maximum so that teaching objectives can be achieved
effectively and efficiently
2. To provide easiness in an effort to monitor student progress in
teaching-learning process. With classroom management,
teacher is easy to see and observe the progress of each student
especially students who classified as slow.
3. To provide easiness in raising important issues to be discussed
in class for the improvement of teaching in the future.7
The researcher conclude that the purpose of classroom
management is teaches students how to behave in ways that
facilitate learning. The teacher should understand that students
behaviour is not automatic. In fact, in many ways, the
behaviour we request of children as member of our classes
could be contrary to their natural inclinations.
c. Principle of classroom management
This important for teacher to know and master the principles
of classroom management. It can be described as:
1. Warm and Enthusiasm
Teaches are warm and intimate with the students always show
enthusiasm for the duty or activity will be successful in
implementing classroom management
7Drs. Cece Wijaya , Drs. A. Tabrani Rusyan, Kemampuan Dasar Guru Dalam Proses Belajar Mengajar.
(Bandung: PT. Remaja Rosdakarya, 1994), p. 114
14
2. Challenges The use of the words, actions, behavior or materials
that challenges will increase the excitement of students to learn,
until reducing the possibility to appear of deviant behavior
3. Variation
The used of tools or media, or aids, teacher teaching style,
patterns interaction between teachers and student swill reduce the
appearance of disorder, increase the students’ attention,
especially if used employing have variation, appropriate with the
momentary needs. This aims to effective classroom management
and avoid saturation.
4. Flexibility
Flexibility a teacher to change teaching strategies can prevent the
students disturbances and create a climate of effective teaching in
learning
5. Emphasis of positive things
Emphasis have do by giving reinforcement on positive and
teacher consciousness to avoid mistakes in teaching learning
process, things, and avoid focusattention repression by teacher to
the negative behavior. Emphasis can be done by giving positive
reinforcement, and the awareness of teachers to avoid mistakes
that could disrupt the learning process.
15
6. Develop self-discipline
Teacher should encourage the students to carry out self-
discipline.8
Principle of classroom management can be used to control
theclass well. In order to avoid problems that can disturb the
atmosphere of teaching and learning process. According to Brown,
the principle of classroom management consider four categories:
1. Sight, sound, and comfort
Students are indeed profoundly affected by what they see, hear,
and feel when they enter the classroom. Teacher have any
power to control it
a. The classroom is neat, and orderly in appearance.
b. Chalkboards are erased.
c. Chairs appropriately arranged.
d. The classroom is as free from external noises as possible
(machinery outside , street, noise, hallway voices).
2. Seating Arrangement
Students are members of a team and should be able to see one
another, to talk to one other. Teachers are advised to consider
patterns of semi-circle, U-shape or circles.
3. Chalkboard
The chalkboard is one of the teachers’ greatest allies. It gives
students added visual inputs along with auditory. It allows
8Syaiful Bahri Djamarah dan Aswan Zain, Strategi Belajar Mengajar, (Jakarta:PT Rineka Cipta,2005), p.207
16
teachers to illustrate with words and pictures and graphs and
charts. Teachers are advised to try to be neat and orderly in
their blackboard use, erasing as often as appropriate, because a
messy blackboard make students confused.
4. Equipment
The classroom may be construed to include any equipment the
teacher may be using if the teacher is using electrical
equipment (say, an overhead projector or a video player),
teacher ought to make sure that:
a. The room has outlets,
b. The equipment fits comfortably in the room,
c. Everyone can see (and /or hear ) the visual/auditory stimulus,
d. You leave enough time before and after class to get the
equipment and return it is its proper place,
e. The machine actually works,
f. Teachers know how to operate it
g. There is an extra light bulb or whatever else teachers will
need if a routine replacement is in order.9
Effective classroom management requires awareness,
patience, good timing, boundaries, and instinct. There’s nothing
easy about shepherding a large group of easily distractible young
people with different skills and temperaments along a meaningful
learning journey
9H.Douglas Brown, Teaching by Principle: An Interactive Approach to Language Pendagogy Second Edition,2001, p.192-194
17
d. Classroom Management Strategies
As for what is meant by management strategy is an action or
a way with various aspects and goals created and accountable by
teachers who apply in the classroom. According to Brophy and
Good this data is designed to give a few tips that would help the
researcher with class management strategies:
1. Get set up
Preparation in the first teaching is a teacher must have
preparation, when teachers want to start teaching, things that
need to be prepared is the learning materials and learning
implementation plan that would be submitted. It trains teachers
better in teaching, and teachers should plan and develop daily
schedules and lesson plans that are closely aligned with the
provisions given by the school district. This plan should match
the needs and learning styles of each student in the classroom.
2. Make the room attractive
Teachers should be able to create an exciting and conducive
classroom atmosphere so that students can appreciate and enjoy a
clean and comfortable room for where they perform their
teaching and learning activities. In other words teachers are
asked to be more creative and innovative in making students to
remain happy while learning.
18
3. Set classroom rules
The rules in the classroom is needed because it can be a tool of
control and mentors in teaching, so it can make the classroom to
be maximal and conducive, and the teacher involves students
designing the rules and they will run it so as to enable students to
work discipline in running the rules. Once this rule has been
made and then made it a responsibility, all students who violate
or do not see that the rule is followed correctly or not. And give
rewards to students who run the rules properly. This will
encourage other students to continue to follow the rules and
motivate students who are not successful enough to get rewards
in the future.
4. Be enthusiastic about the lessons
When the teacher gives the lesson have earned more interactive
with the students and engage them to participate and caould
understand. And develop methods that created and encourage all
students to participate in lessons teachers teach and if students
gave a wrong answer, the task of the teacher is to encourage and
help them to succeed by helping them with the correct answer
and give instructions, ask questions and answer appropriately.
Make sure that the teachers always thank for the student to their
participation in the following lesson in school classrooms.
19
5. Be fair with the students
As a teacher it is necessary for teaching to be fair to all of the
students. Make a point to always hear students out and treat each
one of the pupils with dignity and respect. Don't make
differences in them and give the ones that appear a bit
disobedient as much respect as teach give those who present
themselves respectfully all of the time. Because they would all
love and appreciate teacher for this attitude of being fair to all
students.10
Improving class management strategy can significantly
enhance our experiences as a teacher, and the skills we develop
can also help our students to learn more effectively no
distractions, no disrespect. In addition, Sutanto Leo give three
important issues regarding classroom management, that are:
1. Giving Motivation
If a teacher is excited to teach a lesson and be with his students,
there must be response of feeling from the students to catch the
excitement. to stimulate desire and energy of students to be
continually interested and committed to the learning. Classroom
Motivation is important, in order for effective teaching and
learning to occur and although students ought to have some
measure of motivation, teachers need to be mindful of their
10Thomas L. Good, Jere E. Brophy, Looking in Classrooms, 10th Edition, 2007, p.75-78
20
own behaviour, teaching style, design of course, teaching
environment.
2. Keeping Discipline
Maintaining discipline in the classroom can be a challenge for
any teacher at any grade level. Before students can begin to
grow into active participants in their own education, the
classroom has to be a place that is conducive to learning. One
of the most important in establishing discipline with your
students is to create the rules of the classroom.
3. Gaining Respect
Teacher need to earn the respect of their students just as we
respect them if they earn its as well. Respecting each students
as an individual will help a teacher earn the respect of their
students. There are many ways to show the respect, that are
being nice, greeting by name, smiling, facial expression and eye
contact, showing an enthusiasm, giving feedback.11
The effectiveness of Classroom management basically
depends on the factors of teachers, classes will be peace and quiet
when the teacher was able to control it, and so the class will be
chaotic if the teacher is not proficient in classroom management.
Skills in classroom management will greatly influence the
smoothness and success of student learning, because learning
activities are not going to go well when the class atmosphere was
11Sutanto Leo, A Challenging Book to Practice Teaching in English, 2013, p. 204-215
21
not conducive. The classroom management is effective when the
teachers are able to manage the physical environment, so that the
students feel comfortable and enable them to move around and
work well. In addition, the teachers are able to choose appropriate
rules that make the classroom environment orderly and promote
successful learning. Teachers should be able to choose the
appropriate discipline technique to manage the students’ behavior.
Jeremy harmer describes the strategies in manage the class
are:
1. Whole-class teaching
It is much easier for students to share an emotion such as
happines or amusement in awhole-class setting. It issuitable for
activities where the teacher is acting as a controller and good
for giving explanations and instructions
2. Students on their own
If we wish students to work on their own in class we can, for
example, allow them to read privately and then answer question
individually, we can ask them to complete worksheet or writing
tasks by themselves. We can give them worksheets with
different task and allow individuals to make their own decisions
about which task to do. We can handout different worksheet to
different individuals depending upon their tastes and abilities.
We can allow students to research on their own or even choose
22
what they want to read or listen to especially where this
concerns extensive reading.
3. Pairwork
In pair work students can practise language together, study a
text, research language or take part in information. They can
write dialogues, predict the content of reading texts, or compare
notes on what they have listened to or seen.
4. Groupwork
We can put students in group too, since this will allow them to
do a range of tasks for which pairwork is not sufficient or
appropriate. Thus students can write a group story or role play a
situation which involves some students. We can give individual
students in a group different lines from a poem which the group
has to ressemble.12
When people think of teaching and learning they frequently
conjure up a picture of students sitting in rows listeningto a teacher
who stands in front of them. For many, this is what teaching means,
and it is still the most common teacher-students interaction in many
cultures.It's difficult to gain respect and control over a classroom
full of students. For example, we may find a classroom
management strategy that works well with some students fails at
other school levels. Despite this, we can use the same basic
12. Jeremy Harmer, The Practice of English Langauge Teaching, Third Edition, p.114-117
23
guidelines to help control our students' behavior, Just adapt and
refine our tactics to suit the students' age group.
From some a few tips above, the researcher described it
would help theteacher to get it together in the classroom; be
prepared, have an attractive classroom,design classroom rules,
teach with enthusiasm, and be fair.
2. Large Class
a. Definition of Large Class
Some experts have different opinion about large class.
Hayes states that there is no quantitative definition of a large class,
as people’s perception of this varies from context to context.13
Some countries consider 25-30 students per teacher are large, while
in other countries this is seen to be normal or even quite small.
Hargreaves, Galton, and Pell, state the definition of a small or a
large classroom might differ in different contexts”.14Most of
teachers agree that a language class with 50-60 students are “very
large”. English teachers think that large classes hinder them from
teaching efficiently and effectively. Its mean that definition of
large class is depend on the disciplines and teaching context,
people from one country to another country also have different
perception about large class. China for example, a large class may
consist of 50-100 students in one classroom. In Indonesia, consists
13David Hayes, Helping teachers to cope with large classes ELT Journal, S 1, 31-38.14 L Hargreaves, M Galton & A Pell, The Effect of Changes Class size on teacher-pupil interaction.International
Journal of Educational Research, 1998 page 29, 779-795.
24
of 25-35 students. However, many teachers agree that a classroom
consist of more than 35 students is large.
However, in a survey done in 2008 covering more than 30
countries, regardless of how many students the respondents typically
taught (anywhere from 20 to 150), most felt that a class became large
with about 30 students.15Ur specifically proposes that “the exact
number does not really matter: what matters is how you, the
teacher, see the class size in your own specific situation”. 16This
view is also supported by Baker and Westrup who suggest that “a
large class can be any number of students, if the teacher feels there
are too many students for them all to make progress”.17 The same
thinking is held by Todd who adds that “what is taught influences
teachers’ judgments of the size of classes” which later can
influence their definition of a large class.18The concept of large
class size is subjective, largely contextualized and situational
based.
Large class size is one of the factors that affect directly the
teaching process. Fortes & Tchantchane state that “Dealing with
large classes constitutes a real challenge to every teacher: diversity
of students, lack of flexibility, class climate management, difficulty
of setting and enforcing classroom behavior (crowd control),
15Brock Brady, Managing Assessment in Large EFL Classes, in C. Coombe et al, Issues
Assessment, p.291-29916P Ur, A Course in Language Teaching. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.)17
J Baker & H Westrup, The English language teacher’s handbook: How to teach large classes with fewresources,( London: Continuum,2000)
18W R Todd, Why investigate large classes? KMUTT Journal of Language Education, 2006, p.1-12.
25
minimum attention to students, limited monitoring of students’
learning and difficulty in engaging students to activities”.19
Based on those definition above the researcher
concludethat, large class size is a relative term. The class
considered as large one is how the teacher perceives the class size
in the specific situation, regardless of the exact number of the
students in it.
b. Managing Large Class
Teaching large classes are mostly a management and
organizational problem rather than issues of pendagogy. That is
why the teaching method and forms of classroom organization
have a big impact upon the quality of education provided.20 When
teaching large classes, particularly, the teacher has to think very
carefully about the most appropriate ways ofenabling everypupil to
participate as fully as possible in the lesson.In a survey related to
this study, a teacher wrote, “I can’t stand large classes”. For
another, large classes were “exhausting”.
Brown highlighted several considerations to handle large
class in which teacher should:
1. Try to make each student feel important
2. Get students to do as much as interactive works as possible
19P Fortes and Tchantchane, Dealing with Large Classes: A Real ChallengeProcedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences/Volume 8, 2010, Pages 272–280
20P Smith and M Warburton, Strategies for Managing Large Classes:a Case Study, British Journalof In-Service Education, 2007, Vol.23(2), p.253-265
26
3. Optimize the use of pair-work and small group work to give
students chances to perform in English
4. Do more listening comprehension activities
5. Use peer-editing
6. Do not collect all students’ works at the same time
7. Set up small learning center for individualized work
8. Organize informal conversation groups and study group.21
The teacher’s duty is to make sure that his teaching is
appropriate to his class, that is organized systematically, and that it
is exciting. These three features interlock with each other, but it is
worth noting that, while the first two are the easiest to attain. Yet a
teacher who uses appropriate and well-organized materials usually
has little difficulty in generating enthusiasm in his class.
Some of the following strategy are recommended to put in use in
large classes.That are:
1. Establishing classroom rules
Students themselves are encouraged to set up rules for their
classes. Votes to accept the rules are carried out when all rules
have been written down by members of the whole class. As the
rules are designed by students, they will have responsibilities to
uphold their rules, and this will help build a sense of
community in large classes.
21H. Douglas Brown, Teaching by principle: An interactive approach to language pedagogy, 1990,
New Jersey: Englewood Cliffs.
27
2. Learning students names and organizing seating plans
Learning students names proves to be very helpful to teachers
of large classes to build good relationships between teachers
and students, to engage in class activities. However, it is
very difficult for teachers to have good memory to remember
students. Although remembering students names appears to
be a minor practical issue that does not greatly affect teachers
teaching but there is some evident that a teacher correct use of
names is correlated with the lack of discipline problems. Still
there are some common techniques teachers can try in their
classes recommended by authors in the literature. Teachers
should:
a. Spend first two or three hours to allow students introduce
themselves;
b. Make a seating plan of the class;
c. Ask students to make their name cards and put their
name cards in front of them whenever they come to class
d. Try to associate the students' names with some personal
characteristic;
e. Ask students to make group posters introducing themselves
to put on the back wall of the classroom.
3. Creating a friendly classroom atmosphere
The purpose of this strategy is to build a good teacher-student
relationship. When a friendly classroom atmosphere is created,
28
students will feel at ease to express their ideas, and they are
willing to participate in class activities, even with passive
students. Teachers from Thailand agree that teachers
should create a friendly environment for students learning
since this environment affects how well your students can
learn.
4. Using student leaders
In order to avoid discipline problems in class, especially in
large classes, teachers can select prestigious, oldest or more
advanced students who can take responsibility for helping
others, as group leaders, monitors, or teaching assistants.
Harmer says better students will be used to help weaker
students in doing pair or group work. It works especially when
students are used as language models of speaking and writing.
students had their “people” to work with. Students voiced
problems they had in class with group leaders and from these
group leaders. Teacher could gather good information to
manage teaching and adjust the ways they was going to teach
students. Management competitions with teachers‟ reward
policies such as giving students extra marks, candies or small
gifts to groups of good management work. 22
On the surface, effectively managed, learning-centered
classrooms may have the look of no management at all, but they
are carefully orchestrated at a complex level by the teacher so
22. Minh Trang Nguyen, An International Peer-Reviewed Open Access Journal,2015, p. 80-82
29
thatlearning can occur. Francis mention some strategies in
managing large class, they are:
1. Classroom conduct contracts developed by the class can be
very helpful in setting the boundaries of acceptable behavior. In
the first class students spend some time discussing how to
manage issues such as talking in class, mobile phones, etc.
Once the ground rules have been established, share these online
and remind students of them as required.
2. Students who are confused or bored may become disruptive.
Provide a backchannel or other strategy for them to voice their
concerns, such as a question/suggestion box at the back of the
classroom, which allows them to flag their problems early.
3. Moving closer to disruptive students can signal to them that
their behavior has caught your attention.
4. Ask the disruptive students if they need to have a question
answered. Sometimes the talking is simply because they don’t
understand but are too shy to stop the class and ask.
5. Speak to persistently disruptive students after the class,
pointing out how their behavior is a problem, and what you
would like them to do to modify it.23
In addition, Jim Scrivener said that teachers can use a
variety of classroom management strategies, that is:
23 . R. W. Francis, Making Large Classes Seem Small, Journal of College Teaching, 9(2) p. 147-152
30
1. Make sure students know that the teacher know all of the
students
2. Create systems for managing materials efficiently
3. Take a long hard look at the room
4. Don’t get stuck at the front
5. Don’t spell all your time getting tied up in discipline issues
6. Offer private contact time.24
There some strategy needed to be done teacher to maintain
students interest and motivation in learning. Although their
different levels of intelectual and various personalities such as
being smart, slow, enthusiastic, restless, disobedient, stubborn,
frightened, emotional, lazy, trouble makers, and so on. Teachers
should be able to make them learn and work based on the expected
learning objectives.
B. Review of Related Studies
There are some relevant studies conducted by other researcher to
support this research. The first research was conducted by Rika
Retnaningtyas, the title is Classroom Management of English Teaching-
Learning Process in a BigClass at the Seventh Grade of SMP N 2 Mlati,
Yogyakarta. The results of the study were divided into three board
categories, they were the physical setting of the classroom, the
psychological setting of the classroom, and the management of the
teaching and learning process.

The second study was done by Feni Diniyah Auliyah The title is
The Effectiveness of the Classroom Management of Large English Classes
Conducted by The Teachers at SMP Bahrul Ulum, Surabaya. theresult of
the research was classroom management conducted by teachers in large
English classes is effective. The teachers are able to manage both of
physical management and management of students well. It can be seen by
the students’ response that classroom management conducted by their
teacher are appropriate with some criteria of effective classroom
management. The teachers use variety of teaching method, and the
students feel pleasant with the teaching method applied by their teacher.
The teacher also uses variety of aid and equipment in presenting the
material that make the students feel interested in the material so that they

1. Observation
Technique of data collection by using observation is done if the
research relating to human attitude, process of work, natures of
phenomenon, and respondent who is observed is not oversize.30
Observation means as a process to monitor and systematic research
toward some indication that appear in object of the research. The
researcher chose observation because it analyzed process of work,
especially the classroom management strategies in large class used by
English teacher at the eleventh grade majoring in science 3 of MAN

D. Population and Sample
1. Population
According to Creswell, a population is a group of individuals
who have the same characteristic.34 The population in this research
was the English teacher who teach at eleventh grade majoring in
science 3 of MAN Koto Baru Padang Panjang, namely Mr. Isra Nur
Salim, S.Pd. He only the teacher teachs in all of the eleventh grade.
33Suharsimi Arikunto, Dasar-Dasar Evaluasi Pendidikan,..p.23634. John W Creswell, Educational Research: Planning, conducting and Evaluating Quantitative and Qualitative
Research, (Boston: Pearson Education, Inc, 2012), p.142
39
2. Sample
According to Creswell, a sample is a subgroup of the target
population that the researcher plans to study for generalizing about the
target population.35 In this reserach, the researcher used purposive
sampling technique in choosing the sample of the English teacher.
Cohen, et.al mention that in purposive sampling, researcher handpick
the cases to be included in the sample of the basis of their judgement
of their typicality or possession of the particular characteristics being
sought. In this way, they build up a sample that is satisfactory of their
spesific needs.36 Due to purposive sampling that had been done by the
researcher, the researcher chose the English teacher who teach at the
eleventh grade majoring in science 3 of MAN Koto Baru Padang
Panjang.
E. Technique of Data Collection
Technique of data collection is a way that is done to collect the
data. The data in this research are collect through observation, interview
and documentation. In thisresearch, the researcher did several procedures
in collecting the data. The first, the researcher did observation in the

analyzed the data by using descriptive analytic, where the data was
processed in qualitative. The purpose of data analysis was to describe
factual and valid about Classroom Management Strategies In Large Class
Used By English Teacher at The Eleventh Grade Majoring in Science 3 of
MAN Koto Baru Padang Panjang.
According to Sugiono, there are several steps to analyze the data of
observation, interview and documentation that based on Miles and
Huberman, states that activity in qualitative data analysis done
interactively and continuously carried through to completion so that the
data valid,38 as follow:
37Suharsimi Arikunto, op. Cit. P.23638Sugiyono, Op, Cit, p.337
41
Based on the graphic above, after the researcher conducted data
collection, the researcher made data reduction, such as summarizing,
choosing the subject matters, focusing on the important things. The next
step was to display the data. The researcher showed the data in narrative
type, it was the researcher wrote the result of the research by explaining
the data. Then the data was organized, arranged in pattern of relationships
so it was easily to be understood. The next step, took the conclusion and
verification. Preliminery conclusions were tentative and will change when
do not find evidence that support the next data collection. If conclusions
are valid, it is mean that the researcher get the credible conclusions.
In this research, the data which taken from various instruments
analyzed by using descriptive qualitative.
1. Observation data filled and noted, after that it will be analyzed by
using descriptive qualitative.
2. Data of interview from English teacher was transcribed and described
by using descriptive qualitative
42
3. Documentation dataanalyzed and attached as the appendices in this
research.
G. Triangulation of the Data
In testing the validity of the data in this qualitative research, the
researcher did test of the credibility of the data that is obtain by using
triangulation of data. Sugiono States, “triangulation is qualitative cross-
validation. It assesses the sufficiency of the data according to the
convergence of multiple data sources or multiple data collection
procedures.”39 Triangulation is define as checking the data from a variety
of means or technique, resources and time. Thus, the researcher will use
technique triangulation type.
Triangulation techniques are done by checking the data get to the
same source with different techniques. For example, data that is obtain by
observation is check by data obtain from interview. There will get valid
data with the certainty of the data.

CHAPTER IV
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
A. Findings
This chapter explained about the data description from “Classroom
Management Strategies Used By English Teacher in Large Class at The
Eleventh Grade Majoring in Science 3 of MAN Koto Baru Padang
Panjang. These findings were answered the research problems about what
are strategies used by English teacher in managing a large class at the
eleventh grade majoring in science 3 of MAN Koto Baru Padang Panjang.
In this research, the researcher collected the data from observation,
interview, and documentation. Observation was based on observation
sheet which was filled by observed from teaching learning process in the
classroom. The researcher recorded the teacher and students activity in the
classroom for three meetings. The interview was done to the English

The researcher got the data of this research through three
instrumentation, namely observation by using observation sheet, interview
with the English teacher and by took video recoeding as documentation.
Furthermore, classroom management strategies used by English teacher in
large class at the eleventh grade majoring in science 3 of MAN Koto
Baru Padang Panjang could be seen on the explanation below:
44
1. Classroom Management Strategies Used by EnglishTeacher
in Large Class
a. Data Description from Observation
The researcher had observed the teaching and
learning process for three time or three meetings to see
classroom management strategies in large classs used by
english teacher at the eleventh grade majoring in science in
teaching and learning activity. The researcher got that the
English teacher used various strategy based on the
observation sheet written before. From 30 types of
strategies in classroom management written in observation
sheet, the English teacher used types of classroom
management strategies in eleventh grade majoring in
science 3. The data from observation were divided into five
meetings and the explanation in each meeting was
described below.
1) Get set up
In the first, second and third meeting, the
researcher found that teacher used the classroom
management strategies that was get set up. The teacher
prepared the learning materials and lesson plans for
learning activities. The teacher brought the lesson plan
and the teacher brought print out and textbook about
topic of teaching material for the learning.
45
2) Make the class attractive
In the first, second and third meeting, the
researcher found teacher did not create an exciting
classroom atmosphere. It shown when the teacher
explain the material that teacher used lecture method in
teaching, the teacher reviewed the lesson in the last
meeting before continuing the next material. Next,
teacher explain new topic with explain the material in
front of the class and use white board in explain the
topic.
3) Set Classroom Rules
In the first meeting, Teacher set classroom rules
with control and monitor the students in teaching and
learning activity. Teacher maintain discipline in the
classroom before teaching and learning activity, the
teacher began the class on time. The students who were
late into the class are asked to list some vocabulary in
front of the class. The teacher asked the students to tidy
their clothes.
“Oke sebelum kita mulai pembelajaran yang
cowok tolong baju nya di rapikan dulu nak, pertemuan
selanjutnya kalau baju nya masih keluar-keluar Bapak
coret ajapakai spidol ya”
46
Before going to the learning material, he took
attendance. He asked to his students in the classroom:
“Masih ada yang di luar kelas? Ada yangcabut? Yang tadi pagi masuk tapi sama Bapak nggamasuk ada?”.
After that the students answered “Tidak Pak.
Then the teacher talked to the students that he wanted
students to follow his rules when learning with him. He
said:
“Oke maaf sebelum nya ya ini Bapak terusterang saja dilokal sebelah tadi ada yang cabut dipelajaran Bapak, terus terang Bapak kecewa sekali,jujur Bapak paling tidak suka siswa yang cabut dipelajaran Bapak. Bapak marah. Berarti Bapak tidakdianggap guru, ini untuk semuanya kalau ada yangtidak suka belajar sama Bapak tidak apa-apa terusterang saja sama Bapak tidak ada pemaksaan dariBapak, boleh keluar saat pembelajaran Bapak, ohnilai? Tenang..aman, Bapak kasih nilai 100.Tapi kalaumasih ingin belajar, mendapatkan ilmu tolong ikutiaturan sama Bapak”
From that, we know that students were not allow
to leave the English class with him, except by
acceptable reasons.
After that, when the teaching learning process,
there was a students wearing hat, The teacher ask that
students to open his hat. Teacher said:
“Ridwan buka topi nya nak, kenapa? Panas?.Ngga ada pakai topi saat belajar dalam kelas kita lagibelajar bukan foto model”
47
The last, when teacher gave students homework,
he required students to make their work and ask them to
collect their homework on time. If the students did not
collect their home work on time, the teacher did not
give they the mark.Teacher said :
“PR nya besok bapak tagih ya, ga ada ceritabelum siap belum siap, yang ngga ngumpulin PR tidakbapak kasih nilai, walaupun ngumpul nya dihari lainngga ada nilai nya ya, Bapak akan tetap periksa tapinilai nya ngga masuk dalam buku penilaian Bapak, ituperaturan yang tidak bisa diganggu gugat ya, kalaungga begitu anda lalai saja dengan tugas”
the teacher said to the researcher, that some of
students often do not collect their homework, if
homework is examined together in the class and when
the teacher takes the mark of each student. Some of
students who don't do homework have a reasons, like a
book staying at home, they say they will collect
homework tomorrow. For the first and second times the
teacher gives dispensation. But some of students often
do it, every teacher gives homework.
“Kadang kalau Bapak kasih PR kan, terus diperiksa sama-sama dikelas, kalau nilainya Bapak ambildan masuk buku nilai, mereka mulai cari-cari alasan tu,padahal sebenarnya PR nya belum dibikin, jadi karnaBapak ambil nilai, ada yang bilang ‘bukunyaketinggalan Pak’ Jadi, Bapak kasih kesempatan untukmengumpulkan di pertemuan selanjutnya”.
In the third meeting, before going to the
learning, teacher gave time for the students are ready to
48
study. Teacher keep silent in front of the class to give
them a code that teacher want discipline from the
students. Then when the situation was quiet, teacher
said:
“Sudah?Sudah siap untuk bealajar?Sudahselesai bincang bincang pagi nya? Belajar kitalagi?,The students answered “Sudah Pak”.
Next, in teaching learning process the researcher
found that students were not allow to eat in the
classroom, students were not allow to asking permission
out of the class more than one person, the students were
not allow to sleep in the classroom, and the students
were not allow to make notes about material and
assignments in the same book.
The teacher looked there was student ate in the
class.
“Bapak selalu kasih waktu 15 menit setelah belya. Jadi, besok-besok kalau Bapak sudah masukkedalam kelas tidak ada lagi yang makan makan,kecuali minum bapak izinkan”.
Actually, teacher has gave the 15 minutes times
for the students if the English class with him started
after break time and prayer time, because because he
knew that the break time that had been given by the
school was not enough for them, such as for eating,
resting from thinking, praying, etc. So, it is reasonable
49
that the students were not allow to eat in the classroom
during the lessons with him.
“Sebenarnya aturan belajar sama Bapak itutidak berubah ubah dari dulu ya, masih sama sepertisenior-senior anda sebelumnya. Untuk menjagakedisplinan”.
Then, teacher looked there was student did the
assignments in note book, he wrote the task and note in
the same book. Teacher said:
“ Nak sayang buku catatan sama latihannyajangan di gabung ya, nanti susah nak, kadang Bapakminta tugas nya dikumpulkan habis itu Bapak ngadainulangan harian, nah lo gimana jadi nya kan”
From the explanation above it could be conclude
that teacher set some classroom rules at the eleventh
grade science 3, that were go into the class on time, not
allow to late, tidy up clothes, not allow leave the class
without permission,can't wear a hat when
learning,collect assignments on time, not allow to eat in
the classroom, students were not allow to asking
permission out of the class more than one person, the
students were not allow to sleep in the classroom, and
the students were not allow to make notes about
material and assignments in the same book.
50
4) Be enthusiastic
In the first, second and third meeting, the
researcher found that teacher interactive with students
and engage them to participate in the classroom. In the
first meeting, the teacher gave questions that stimulate
response of the students. The teacher took a pen from
one of the student, then the teacher asked to all of the
student. “Whose pen is this?” then the students replied
“it is Rahmi’s pen Sir, then the teacher asked again,
what color is this? the student answer the “it is black
color”. Furthermore, the teacher asked the student to
compose the sentence into an adjective clause. Please
arrange both question into an adjective clause. Students
replied “Rahmi has a pen which has black color”.
Teacher gave praise to make students feel important
with said “Okay very good”.
The teacher did not only explained the material,
but he also asked students to perform in front of the
class, that is made students to be more active. The
teacher asked others students too in encourage their
particapation. After asked students answer his question,
the teacher gave students the opportunity to give an
example of adjective clause and gave them a point.
51
“Coba sekarang siapa yang bisa ngasih satuatau dua contoh kalimat adjective clause, ayo siapacepat dia dapat, siapa yang bisa Bapak kasih nilaitambahan, nih ya Bapak lihatkan lewat infokus, yangbisa langsung bapak masukin nilai nya, untuk tigaorang tercepat saja”
There were students can gave example about
adjective clause, teacher gave them the point and gave
applause for them as the feedback, so that can make
students more enthusiasm.
In the second meeting, the researcher found that
teacher enthusiastic to the students with gave questions
that stimulate response of the students. Teacher took
white board eraser, he asked:
“Oke sekarang “ini apa nak?”. “hapus papan
Pak”.“Bentuknya gimana?”.“Segi empat”,
“Warnanya?”.“Biru Pak”.“lalu ini?” then teacher tap
the eraser with his finger, the students answered
“plastik pak”. “Nah itu lah yang anda masukan ke
dalam kolom2 ini dimana kita melihat dari jenis nya
bentuknya, warnanya, dan bahannya”.
From that, we can see that to improve students
enthusiasm in learning start from enthusism by the
teacher.
In the third meeting, the researcher found that
teacher enthusiastic to the students and engage them to
participate in the classroom. He began to explain to the
52
students about the material. Before teach the main topic,
the teacher began to give several statement to the
students too see the students’ understanding related to
the topic. The statement is almost addressed to the
whole of students. So, all of students could active in the
class. The aim of this activity is to stimulate students to
focus on the lessons will be taught on that day.
“Bapak akan bacakan beberapa contohadjective clause tapi itu belum tentu benar, jadi anandasemua harus mengkoreksi kalimat yang bapak bacakan,misal nya I saw the man who close the door, anandabisa jawab correct/incorrect, yang anda koreksi adalahpengguanaan kata seperti who, which. Oke students?”
The students answer with enthusism too, after
that teacher tried it to one by one.
5) Be fair with students
In the first, second, and third meeting, the
researcher found that teacher is fair to all of students.
Teachers do not distinguish each student, such as
students in upper or lower. Teacher demonstrated gave
attention by learning, it seems when the teacher
explained the material the teacher involve all of the
students. carefully answering questions, and asked
students who appear to be having problems with the
subject of learning to discuss problems and solutions in
learning. To avoid giving the impression of partiality,
53
the teacher carefully monitor his behavior and
interactions with all students.
6) Giving Motivation
In the first and second meeting, the researcher
found that teacher gave response of feeling from
students with give motivation for the students. when the
teacher gave the students an assignment sometime
students did their work with cheat to their friends. The
teacher said:
“kerjakan lah semampu yang kamu bisa Nak,karna itu lebih bernilai dari mencontek, kalaumencontek trus tinggal menyalin anak SD juga bisakan? Nanti ya kalau udah di perguruan tinggi dosen ituakan memberi tugas yang jawaban nya itu harus daripikiran kita, jd dari sekarang cobalah untuk mandiriNak, Sukses paling utama itu bukan di mata orang tapidi mata ketika sendiri”.
In the second meeting, the teacher looked that
there were some students who asking permission
alternately. In the beginning the teacher was not realize,
but when the students have many students asking
permission, the teacher began to speak and asked them
why there are many person who asking permission.
“Kok Bapak baru sadar ya kalau anandabanyak yang keluar, kenapa? Udah bosan belajar. Nak,waktu kamu tidak lama lagi loh. Kelas duabelas itusingkat. Untuk tahun terakhir tolong berikanlah kesanyang positif untuk sekolah. Oke sekarang Bapak kasihwaktu 5 menit yang mau keluar silahkan 5 menit darisekarang, setelah itu kita lanjut pembelajaran”
54
After that before going to teaching, teacher gave
advices to all of the students to motivate them in
learning.
In the third meeting the researcher did not found
teacher giving motivation to the students because
learning goes well. That means, there is no problem in
terms of focus students on learning.
7) Gaining Respect
Teacher gained the respect from his students.
Respecting from each students as an individual will
help a teacher earn the respect of their students. There
are many ways that teacher used to get respect from his
students, smiling, facial expression and eye contact,
and showing an enthusiasm. The teacher always
expressed a smile when explain the learning material.
So that made students are smile too and made students
focus to the teacher explained. Teacher facial
expressions also affect toward students' attention in
learning. It seems when the teacher gave example of
sentence about the material he said with facial
expression that suitable with the sentence. And the last
eye contact that very affect to attention of the students.
The teacher gave a code with eye contact to the students
55
are disruptive in learning process, so the students know
that their attitude have attracted teacher attention.
Students give feedback to the teacher respect,
The teacher always expressed a smile when explain the
learning material. So that made students are smile too
and made students focus to the teacher explained.
When the teacher gave example of sentence about the
material he explained with facial expression that
suitable with the sentence. With eyes contact that very
affect to attention of the students and comprehension of
the students.
Teacher gained the respect from his
students.When the teacher gave example of sentence
about the material he explained with enthusiasm the
teacher looked spirit in explained the material and
always give his smile when he was explining the
material, that made students gave response with
enthusiasm in answered teacher explained too, they
answered teacher’s question joinly.
8) Whole Class
Then, the teacher presents the main topic of the
lesson. The topic is about adjective clause. He used
lecturing method in delivering the lesson, and
56
sometimes he also uses questions and answer method to
check the students’ understanding. He explains the
lesson till the students understand what the lesson
about. During the lecturing he used laptop, projector,
whiteboard to write and to illustrate the material being
taught. He gave the opportunities to the students who do
not understand to ask her. He monitors students during
the discussion activity. He gave time for students to
make a note about the material.
Teacher controll all students and gave
explanations and instructions. For example, because
there are many numbers of students, teacher gave
students a statement and ask them to make the
illustration from that statement. After that he asked
students to collect about they made. But here only for
students who are quicker to put on the teacher's desk.
“who's fast, he/sheget”.
“Baiklah sediakan selembar kertas dan pulpen,Bapak akan beri sebuah pernyataan, tugas anda adalahmenjadikan nya dalam bentuk adjective clause, 3 orangtercepat yang mengantar ke depan kelas akan Bapakkasih point. Oke siap kita mulai ‘Saya menyukai wanitayang saya temui tadi malam’. Yang siap langsung antarkedepan”
In the second meeting, teacher controll all
students and gave explanations and instructions.
Because there are many numbers of students, teacher
57
gave students 5 question about the topic of learning and
ask them to make it in the paper. After that he asked
students to collect about they made.
“Ini ada 5 soal, anda kerjakan dan kita periksabersama-sama, Bapak kasih waktu 15 menit siap nggasiap, tukar dengan teman sebelah, lalu kita periksa”
In the thisrd meeting, teacher controll all
students and gave explanations and instructions. For
example, teacher gave 15 questions for the students
about the topic of learning and ask them to make it in
the paper. After that he asked students to investigate
their task together. And teacher take that point from the
task.
9) Students on Their Own
Teacher teach by students on their own. Teacher
give students worksheets with different task and allow
individuals to make their own decisions about which
task to do. Teacher gave an assignment by same
question but by different answer. For example: “Please
all of you make 5 adjective clause based on around of
you”.
Teacher did not teach by students on their own.
Teacher didn’t give students a worksheets with different
58
task and allow individuals to make their own decisions
about which task to do.
Teacher did no teach by students on their own.
Teacher didn’t give students a worksheets with different
task and allow individuals to make their own decisions
about which task to do.
10) Pairwork
In the first, second and last meeting, the
researcer saw that teacher did not divide students to
work in pairs/ groupwork, it shown that teacher used
lecture method. Students just listen and sometimes write
some notes if necessary during the lesson.
11) Make Students feel Important
In the first meeting, researcher found that
teacher make students feel important with good
communication with the students when checked
attendance. “Anggun?”.“Hadir Pak”. “Hari ini cerah
ya nggun, then the students answered “cerah sekali
Pak”. “Cici? Cici ini tumben wajah nya udah
berseri,ehhm” The student answered “Ini wajah
semangat untuk masa depan pak”. “Dinda” “Hadir
pak”. “Kalau Dinda kelaiatan ngelamun ya, moveon
lah Din kumbang kan tidak seekor di dunia ini. Here,
we can see that teacher made students feel imprtant and
59
build good relationship with the students before start the
lesson. Made students feel important and build good
relationship can stimulate students involve active in
learning.
In the second meeting, the researcher found that
to make his students feel important in the class the
teacher asked question or invite students to speak by
calling name of students in . When teacher list
attendance that students were doing their assignment, he
call the name of students by the name that commonly
called by other all her/his friend.
“Anggun”, “hadir pak” “udah siap nggun?
udah nomor berapa nak”
In the third meeting, Teacher make students feel
important in the class, it shown when he explained the
material he gave examples about the material with joke
and involve all of students in learning, in this situation I
heard one of students said: “Pak Isra is the best lah.
12) Small Group Work
In the first, second, and third meeting, the
researcher saw that the teacher didn’t use small group
work in teaching because based on the situation and
60
topic of learning small group work was not suitable
applied.
13) Listening Comprehension
In the first, second, and third meeting. The
researcher found that teacher did not use listening
comprehension to make students more understanding
about learning, to do listening comprehension for the
topic of learning is not suitable, because that day study
about adjective clause.
14) Peer Editing
In the first, second and third meeting, the
researcher found teacher did not use peer editing by
asking students to write about the material they have
been taught and then check by their fridends. To do
peer editing for that topic of learning is not suitable.
Peer editing strategy is more suitable for learning about
text, such as descriptive text, narrative text, report text,
etc.
15) Collect Assignments
In the first and third meeting, the researcher
found teacher did not collect students assignments at the
same time, it means that teacher did not pile students
assignments from last meeting. If the teacher give task
61
or homework , he always ask students to collect their
task, if students said not yet, teacher said he will not
give them the point. So, the teacher always asks
students to collect their task if they have tasks from the
teacher.
16) Small Learning Center
In the first, second and third meeting, the
researcher found teacher did not set up small learning
center for the students. Learning centers are places
where students can work in small groups within the
classroom. Within these spaces, students work
collaboratively on projects that you provide, with the
goal to accomplish them in an allotted amount of time.
As each group completes their tasks they move to the
next center. Learning centers provide children the
opportunity to practice hands-on skills while involved
in social interaction. This strategy is not suitable to
apply, because in the first meeting of observation they
study about adjective clause.
17) Students Names
Teacher build good relationship with students.
Build good relationship is like work at getting to know
the students as individuals. Find out their interests.
Initiate conversations with them about something like
62
sport, TV, social media or school activities. As teacher
talk to them and listen to what's on their minds, they
will begin to see that their teacher not just another adult,
but someone who is genuinely interested in them.
“Disini lebih suka group bola yang mana sih?Ada yang samaan sama Bapak gak? Bapak dukungLiverpool haaa. Students answered “ee Arsenal dongPak”.Teacher response “Wah berlawanan dong kita ya,wah jangan deh ntar kita berantem lalu bikin galau lagitrus ngomong dalam hati duuh pak is bener2 bikin guegalau tadi pas di sekolah”, that made students laugh.
When students feel their teacher is a caring
person, then the classroom becomes a happier place for
everyone. In a less stressful situation, creative ideas are
more likely to emerge. Maintaining good relationships
between teachers and students is an all around winning
proposition as it fosters an environment where real
learning can take place.
18) Students Leader
Teacher did not choose some students more
advanced who can take responsibility in their class.
because the teacher has applied the discipline and rules
in the class. So, here so the teacher just ask for
accountability from the discipline and rules that have
agreed.
63
19) Classroom Contracts
In the first meeting, teacher arranges the class
contract with the students agreed by the teacher and the
students. The Classroom Contract serves as a
collaboratively created framework for behavior
expectations in the classroom. Students and teacher
work together to design an agreement for classroom
norms, rules and consequences. To achieve ultimate
student ownership, contracts should be developed and
agreed upon by all class members. The Classroom
Contract can be frequently amended as situations arise.
Here when the students are lazy to make their task. The
teacher said
“Okay gini ya kalau sama bapak siapa yangtidak mengumpulkan tugas tidak akan bapak beri nilai,kalau untuk tugas bapak tidak bisa kasih toleransikarena disini bapak bisa menguji pemahaman anda,sepakat ya kalau tidak mengumpulkan tugas di hariyang bapak minta nilai nya no walupun andakumpulkan di hari lain”
If teacher saw the attitude of students, Teacher
remind students about the class contract have agreed
before.
“Nah.. nah.. coba dengarin bapak, aa masih
ingat kontrak belajar kita di awal pertemuan?”.”ingat
Pak”. “Kalau ingat tolong ya”
64
In the second, and third meeting meeting the
researcher did not see teacher arranges the class
contract with the students or may be the class contract
that made before berlaku in every meetings.
20) Backchannel or Other Strategy
In the first, second, and third meeting the
teacher did not provide a backchannel or other strategy
for them to voice their concerns, such as a
question/suggestion box at the back of the classroom,
which allows them to flag their problems early, because
the situation in the class was not bad at that time.
21) Give signal for Disruptive students
In the first meeting the researcher found in
teaching learning process, if there were students
disruptive during the lesson, teacher moving closer to
disruptive students to give signal to them that their
behavior has caught attention of teacher. When teacher
saw the students disruptive his concentration in
teaching such as students were talking with friends. He
moving closer to them and stand there explain the
material.
In the second meeting, the researcher did not
find students who disruptive in learning, because the
65
situation in the second meeting was not noisy, there was
no disruptive students so teacher get stuck in front of
the class in explain the material.
In the third meeting, the researcher saw there
were students make disturbance, such as talking and
laugh with their friend, but teacher did not give signal
for them, the researcher look actually the teacher realize
it but he just wanted students awareness, because in the
last meeting before teacher often accosted the students
if they made disruption.
22) Ask to the Students Who Disruptive
If the students still disturb the learning situation,
the teacher gave them a question about the material that
teacher explain just now.
“Aduh kayak nya cerita nya seru sekali ya, cobatadi gimana cara menentukan who, which, dan whosenya siswa Bapak yang ganteng dibelakang itu”
From that we can see although there were
students not focus to the learning teacher pay attention
them too.
Then, if the students made noisy the teacher will
accosted them or gave questions.
“kenapa kok suasana nya ga asik ya, kayak adasuara-suara yang tidak mengenakkan, ada apa ituya?Ada yang bisa Bapak bantu?”.
66
23) Speak with the Disruptive students
If with the question the students still not focus,
teacher speak to students who noisy to pay attention to
teacher explanation.
“Dengarkan penjelasan Bapak ketika menerangkanpelajaran, ini kan untuk anda semua bukan untukBapak ini,”
Then, teacher moving closer to disruptive
students, he stand close with the disruptive students,
when he explained the material they till noisy, teacher
said: “Ssst..Ssst.. babunyi bunyi juo apak sapik bibia
nyo lai”
24) Make Students know
Teacher made sure students that he know all of
the students. It seems when the teacher rebuked the
students are noisy in the classroom. He said:
“Boleh berbicara ketika mengerjakan tugas tapiitu seputar pembelajaran ya, kalau anandamembicarakan hal hal lain lebih baik di luar saja.Meskipun ananda di lokal ini banyak tapi Bapak tauananda semuanya, bapak tidak hanya menilai anandadari afektif saja tapi attitude menjadi nilai plus bagiBapak”.
25) Create System
From the first, second and third meeting. The
researcher found in the second meeting teacher create
67
system for managing material eeficiently by using
laptop and infocus. Technology is what students live
and breathe every day. Teacher create system to make
material efficiently, the teacher use laptop and infocus.
Teacher use technology in his classroom and the
students will be interested and engaged in what they are
learning. Here teacher asked students go into the front
of the class and type in the laptop about topic that
teacher want.
“Oke jadi disini bapak menyediakan kolom, jadi nantiananda ikuti perintah soal, untuk menjawabpertanyaannya ananda tinggal ketik saja lalu tekanenter, nanti akan keluar tanda jika jawaban nya benaratau salah. Tapi sebelum menjawab pertanyaan,silahkan cabut kartu yang telah bapak letakkan disebelah laptop, kartu itu berisi poin. Misal nya poin 10,jadi jika jawaban yang ananda berikan benar makaananda akan dapat poin 10 untuk nilai tambahan.Mengerti nak?”.The students answered “mengertiPak”.
26) Takea long hard
From the first, second and third meeting. If the
teacher gave the assignment for the students, the teacher
take a long hard look at the classroom. The teacher
looks at the whole students and ensures all of the
students do their work. He will accosted the students if
they look didn’t make their task.
“Ridwan kenapa Ridwan? Ada yang kurangpaham nak? Tanya sama Bapak”
68
From that examplewe know that teacher pay
attention to all of thestudents.
27) Don’t get stuck at the front
In the first meeting, teacher get stuck at the front
of the class, he stood in front of the class when explain
the material and used the white board to write the
material that he explained.
In the second and third meeting, teacher didn’t
get stuck at the front of the class, teacher moving closer
to the students in explain the material and to see their
activity in doing the assignments.
28) Offer Private Contact Time
From the first, second, and third meeting. The
researcher found in third meeting that teacher said if
there were somethings forget that explained by the
teacher or if the students want to ask somethings
important, the teacher offer contact time for students
out the classroom.
“Karna waktu kita kadang tidak cukup kalauada materi yang perlu di tanyakan sama Bapak, kitabahas di kantor ya”
From the observation above, the researcher
conclude that teacher applicated some of strategies in
managing large class, that were get set up, set
69
classroom rules, be enthusiastic, be fair with students,
giving motivation, gaining respect, make students feel
important, collect assgnments, students name,
classroom contracts, givesignal for disruptive students,
ask the disruptive students,speak with disruptive
students, make students know, create system, take a
long hard, don’t get stuck at the front, offer private
contact time.
b. Data Description from interview
In interviewing the English teacher, the researcher
used ten questions about classroom management strategies
in large class used by English teacher in teaching learning
process. The researcher interviewed the teacher by using
indonesian language to get correct and properexplanation
from interviwee. The researcher took a teacher as the
participant in this research, his name is Mr. Isra Nur Salim,
S.Pd.
Based on the interview from the teacher, the
researcher got the information about strategies that teacher
used in managing large class in teaching learning process.
Clearly, the explapanation for each question item could be
described below.
70
For the quetion item number 1, that was Apakah
Bapak pernah mengajar di kelas besar sebelumnya?The
teacher answered “yes I have”. He said that ever taught in
the large class since 2013. So, t means that the teacher has
ever teaching in large class before.
Then, the question item number 2, Apa pengertian
kelas besar menurut Bapak? The teacher said the class with
the number more than traditional class, it means every
school have number of students are not different with other,
such as 25,26,27,30 and suspend with someone or teachers
perseption.
From the answered by the teacher about definition
of large class it means that this finding was same with
opinion from expert, that is Hayes says that there is no
quantitative definition of a large class, as people’s
perception of this varies from context to context.Some
countries consider 25-30 students per teacher are large,
while in other countries this is seen to be normal or even
quite small.
Next, question item number 3, Apakah Bapak
menyediakan rencana pelaksaan pembelajaran khusus
untuk kelas besar? The teacher answered that he did not
prepare spesific learning implementation plan, but we must
71
have background the students self, the factor of condition
internal and external teacher and students can give
contribution in build condusive learning environment.
Build good relationship, have a chemistry with students
make students feel comfortable, like facial expression,
contact, enthusiasm. So that made students give feedback to
us.
From the answered by the teacher about manage a
positive and productive learning environment in the class, it
means that this finding was same with expert by Brown
said that teachers have try to make each students feel
important and build good relationships between teacher
andstudents.
Next, question item number 4, Apakah Bapak
mengatur tempat duduk siswa dikelas besar sebelum
belajar untuk dapat mengontrol setiap siswa?He answered
that “No” because he has self in monitoring students. He
focus to students in front of the class because he know that
students in front of the class is students who focus in the
learning. But he control students in middle and back too.
He said that he can see his students personal from the
seating. “Dari pemilihan tempat duduk saja kita bisa
mengetahui siswa yang benar benar ingin belajar. But
sometime he changed students seat if learning with him.if
72
he look students at the back were not focus displace the
seating of them.
From the answered by the teacher about arrange
students seat, it means that this finding was same with
expert by Minh Trang Nguyen said that teacher has make a
seating plan of the class.
Question item number 5, Bagaimana Bapak
mengelola lingkungan belajar yang positif dan produktif
dikelas besar?He answered before the lesson is fully
started, start the meeting with a learning contract, class
contract, advice, motivation, introduction because basically
students still do not really understand English. Ask students
what their target is in learning, to get only grades or
something else. Make sure that English has an important
essence in the future, not just to get value. after that, teach
tricks, how to deal with difficulties in understanding
English in addition to concepts. So from there students will
be motivated so that a positive and productive learning
environment is created in the classroom.
Question item number 6, Apa strategi yang Bapak
gunakan untuk mengelola kelas besar? He answered he
first, understand the character of students, how they are,
likes to fuss, like to sleep, do their own work like painting.
73
does not mean I do not pay attention to them while learning
even though I do not always admonish them. I control my
students, if they are fit to be reprimanded, I will rebuke
them. Call the name but don't scare them, still make them
comfortable, build relationships with them, be a good
example. so that later we will get feedback. But if there are
still problems that cannot be solved in the classroom, invite
students to speak outside the classroom / outside of
learning.
For strategies in learning, depending on the learning
situation, the strategy that he usedwas using media such as
looking at the picture of learning, but if he feel the
classroom conditions are uncontrolled, noisy, he show
videos related to the learning topic from there we can they
will focus on themselves , because basically the students
like to watch.I use group work strategy, pairwork, small
learning center, in the subject lesson that is suitable for that
matter.
Question item number 7, Apa yang Bapak lakukan
untuk mendukung dan menumbuhkan situasi yang kondusif
dikelas agar tujuan pembelajaran tercapai? He answered
optimal learning conditions can be achieved if we are able
to organize students and learning facilities and control them
in a pleasant atmosphere to achieve teaching
74
goals.Identifying and classifying problems both
individually and in groups, analyzing problems, selecting
and determining alternative solutions to problems, and
utilizing feedback.
Thus students can learn a calm and safe atmosphere while
at the same time can arouse students' interest and attention
in learning.So that students are not always confused with
the style and model of assignments that are constantly
changing, maintaining routine. The speed with which the
student understands what his teacher will do will reduce the
chaos in the classroom.Being calm and constantly
confident, with high calmness and confidence, theteacher
will be able to control his students, so that the learning
process will run according to what is expected, because by
being calm and confident, the teacher will not panic and
lose balance, and will not hesitate when facing students.
Question item number 8, Apa yang Bapak lakukan
untuk memantau perkembangan setiap siswa?
In the context of learning, the evaluation system is a
benchmark for the evaluation of the extent to which
students understand the material being taught, in which the
75
evaluation system is not only in the form of tasks, mid or
repetition but also teachers assess students in terms of
effectiveness, congruence and psychomotor.I also do the
assessment at a certain moment, for example, at the time of
the quiz then we as learners must be smart to look for
opportunities in order to get mark. If the teacher is
questioning then the student's opportunity to try to answer
in order to get mark.Teachers also try to assess how the
work of the students, for example if the interview then the
students are taught to account for what they have done and
they must be able to do it because at that time the teacher
melakuakn assessment how they perentasi whether already
understand the material to be delivered
Question item number 9, Apa yang Bapak lakukan
kepada siswa yang mengganggu dalam proses
pembelajaran?He answeredthat he reprimand them by
calling their name, if they are still annoying, he will
approach it when explaining the lesson, then, he will talk.
But if it doesn't produce change he will invite the student to
talk outside of learning
Question item number 10, Apa yang Bapak lakukan
jika sebagian besar siswa didalam kelas tidak fokus pada
materi pembelajaran Bapak? He answered there most of
the students live in dormitories, sometimes they have
76
compulsory activities in the dormitory. They are
sleepy,they are sleep, so they do not focus in learning, he
understand that. Usually if he see most of my students not
focusing on learning he will ask questions in advance
regarding the reason they don't focus on learningafter that
he will look for a solution to the problem, like if the cause
is that they don't understand his explanation then I will
change my teaching method.
From the explnation above, it can besummarized
that were various of classroom management strategies in
large class used by English teacher in learning process in
the classroom. The strategies were included that have
background the students self, build good relationship, have
a chemistry with students make students feel comfortable,
like facial expression, contact, enthusiasm, keep control
the students, learning contract, class contract, advice,
motivation, introduction, make sure that English has an
important essence, be a good example. If there are still
problems that cannot be solved in the classroom, invite
students to speak outside the classroom / outside of
learning, using media in learning that suitable with the topic
because basically students like to watch. Use pairwork and
group work in learning that suitable with the topic in
learning.
77
c. Data Description from Documentation
In this research, theresearcher took the data of
classroom management strategies in large class used by
english teacher from documentation. These documentation
were from photo and video recorder at the eleventh grade
majoring in Science 3 of MAN Koto Baru Padang Panjang.
The researcher took photo and video during the learning
activity.
It can be summarized that there was the
documentation about classroom management strategy
teachers’ strategy in large class used by english teacher in
daily teaching and learning activity. These documentation

82
B. Discussions
Based on the observation and interview that were done by the
researcher to the English teacher who teach at the eleventh grade majoring
in science 3, the teacher applied some strategies in managing large class.
Based on the data for the first teacher prepare the learning materials and
learning implementation plan that would be submitted for teaching
learning activity. Control and monitor in teaching and learning activity,
interactive with students, be fair with students, response of feeling with
giving motivation, earn respect of students, whole class, students on their
own.
Moreover, the teacher applied classroom management strategies
because of some reason. Classroom management strategies used to
providing facilities for a variety of student learning activities in the social,
emotional and intellectual environment of learning and working, the
creation of a social atmosphere that gives satisfaction to a disciplined
atmosphere, intellectual, emotional and attitude development, and
appreciation for students. This suitable with the idea from Evertson and
Wenstein wha said to Creating an environment for academic
learning.Academic learning refers to learning content specified in
state content standard such as learning to read and write, learning to
reason, learning to science, math, and social studies and so on.Creating an
environment for social-emotional learning.Social-emotional learning
promotes growth in social skills and the ability to express emotion
83
maturely. Classrooms are well managed only when the teacher create
environments that promote both of this kind of learning. 40
The teacher applied classroom management strategies in large
class by using some strategies. Makestudents feel important, interactive
with the students and engage them to participate in the classroom, don’t
collect students assignment at thesame time, the teacher follow the
strategies by Brown that highlighted several considerations to handle large
class in which teacher should:Try to make each student feel important, get
students to do as much as interactive works as possible. optimize the use
of pair-work and small group work to give students chances to perform in
English, do more listening comprehension activities, use peer-editing, do
not collect all students’ works at the same time, set up small learning
center for individualized wor, organize informal conversation groups and
study group.41
Next, teacher applied classroom management strategies in large
class by using strategies by Francis that was arranges the classroom
contracts with the students, moving closer to disruptive students, and
speak to disruptive students. 42
In addition, teacher applied classroom management strategies in
large class by using strategies by Scrivener that was make students know
that teacher know all of students, create sytem for managing the class

Based on explanation above, it could be conclude that the teacher
used various classroom management strategies in large class. The teacher
also followed some way or strategies in applied the classroom
