Group Work Effectiveness in English Language Teaching 1

2.1.2 Increasing Effective Climate
In order to provide students with an effective learning environment when it comes to working in groups. The student would need to avoid committing any behavior that would affect the other students around him. The teacher must show equal respect and care for every student in the classroom. This means that the teacher should not embarrass a student in front of his classmates, but he should encourage him. The teacher can use humor and tell jokes which causes an enjoyable environment for the students and at the same time relieves the tension and boredom within the students and causes him to stay focus in the class. The teacher can hold classroom discussions on topics that the students are interested in, which motivates them to interact in class with one another. The other approach that is used by teachers to establish a positive learning environment is by the teacher creating a set of classroom rules that the students have to follow which causes a safe and friendly learning environment (Jaques et al., 2006).
