Abstract

Classroom management and learners‟ discipline problems have always been a subject of concern for all teachers around the world, in general, and the Algerian educators, in particular. Without good classroom management, learners‟ discipline problems can overwhelm the classroom and create an unpleasant environment for teaching/learning process, entailing in frustration. Therefore, Investigating Appropriate Classroom Management Effects on Learners‟ Academic Achievements: Fourth Year Middle School Learners is a very significant research topic. It could provide teachers with some key strategies to mitigating learners‟ misbehaviours. It has been noticed that the teaching/learning process faces many obstacles and challenges in middle schools, especially in teaching English as a foreign language. It was a question-provoking issue on how teachers manage their classrooms effectively. Thus, to highlight this problem, the present study aims at investigating the effect of classroom management on learners‟ academic achievement among four middle school pupils. In order to check this correlation, we hypothesized that if teachers establish positive classroom atmosphere, they would generally achieve positive teaching-learning process. This study focused particularly on some ways and strategies that should be implemented by the teacher in order to create a productive and successful learning environment; thus, a better achievement in English. This dissertation was mainly conducted with English middle school teachers where we relied on the descriptive-interpretive method because it deals with the causes and effects relating to two variables, viz., classroom management and learners‟ achievements. Besides, our work relies mainly on two research tools; the questionnaires and the interview for the sake of validity. The gleaned results showed that learners‟ achievements are not satisfactory due to many impediments. By the end, some solutions and techniques are suggested for better achievements and effective learning through an effective classroom management.
