Abstract

This article examines classroom management techniques tailored for teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to elementary-level students. Utilizing a qualitative methodology involving classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with ten experienced EFL teachers, the study identifies five key strategies that contribute to effective management in young learner classrooms: the use of structured routines, positive reinforcement, collaborative seating arrangements, visual aids and non-verbal communication, and movement-based activities such as games and Total Physical Response (TPR). The findings are discussed in relation to existing literature, emphasizing how classroom management in EFL settings is not only about discipline but also about supporting language development and emotional security. The article contributes to the growing field of young learner pedagogy by offering practical, research-based recommendations for educators working in multilingual and multicultural contexts.
