Dealing with classroom disruptions

This module includes tasks for listening comprehension and vocabulary extension as well as communicative language activities, including productive tasks for dealing with classroom disruptions and (non-)verbal interventions. Experiences from own teaching practice and changes of perspective between teachers and learners are reflected, differences between verbal and non-verbal interventions are clarified and characteristics and effects of “you” and “I” messages are gradually developed linguistically and trained in the form of role plays (including means of speech).

For a further deepening of the topic, in particular on further strategies for dealing with acute disruptive situations in the classroom, the module Teaching Disruptions as part of the Pedagogical Intercultural Qualification (PIQ) is recommended.
