Dialogue is a best way of understanding.

"Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different point of view."

What's the most important job as a teacher? I think it's creating and managing a class successfully. As a student, I've been taught by many teachers and in various circumstances. From now on, I'd like to talk about the three effective classroom management based on my experience.

When I was 20, I used to study English from May 2007 to December at HELP Academy, Baguio City, Philippines. That academy had a very strict rule; all the classrooms had "English Only" policy, and we were not allowed to speak in native language even in hallways. At the first of the month, Students were required to put down a deposit $100. If somebody used native language, he or she were fined $1 per offense. If only students didn't break any rules, they could the money back. Due to this rule, Students tried to speak only English although it's very difficult for beginners. Looking back on the classroom, it's effective for adult students. However, it can't be implemented to the children. As for me, I would talk to my students for this policy. I'll let them know why they use "English Only" and how well they can improve their English skill.

Let's talk about the next issue. In any classes, there can be a student who is frequently late or absent. I think not being punctual needs to be applied by stricter enforcement. I guess that being punctual to the class is the one thing students can show their interests and respect in the class. So, teachers should discuss the tardiness and absences with students. If teachers approach and instill students with interests, students can more focus their classes.

Lastly, helping the students' preparation is also one of the most important task for teachers. I've taught English children for several years. Take an experience; there were 13 students in my class consisting of 8 girls and 5 boys. Most of them did their homework well, but for 3 students they didn't. At that time, I was angry without thinking why they didn't. It's absolutely my fault. For now, I would demonstrate rather than explain the assignment and be asked enough questions by students. Moreover, I would give as much feedback as I can because it's essential for them to continuous improvement.

There are many kinds of classroom management skills, how successfully can teachers make it and what can they do to be good teachers, to create and manage the classroom effectively.

Students always don't follow the rules made by teachers and schools. Therefore, I'll keep in mind that maximizing student interaction is a requisition for further understanding them better.
