Teachers can address bad behavior in the classroom in positive ways, hopefully making truly meaningful changes in the classroom itself and students individually.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Should teachers punish students for bad behavior? In my psychology class at university, we learned that there are many ways to curve or modify behavior, one method involves 2 different types of punishment.

Even if the behavior is not related to language learning, a student might subconsciously relate the punishment with learning English. There are far better ways to improve behavior in a classroom other than...  [Read more]
