Abstract

The role of teacher concerns not only with the material or the subject to be learned but also how to manage the teaching learning process running as the expectation. In fact, very often the teaching learning process is interrupted by students’ misbehavior. It becomes the common issue among teachers since its existences disrupt the students’ own learning as well as the whole class. In relation to that issue, classroom management itself is not taught in the institution where the student teachers are prepared. Consequently, they are lack of skill in managing misbehavior. Some of them apply strategies as what their senior high school teachers did which may not be relevant to the characteristic of the students nowadays. Also, the teacher has to face different misbehaviors every year. This study is conducted to give detailed description about types of students’ misbehavior that the English teacher faces and how the English teacher manages the students’ misbehavior. Additionally, it is aimed to know the students’ view about their English teacher management strategies as a reflection for the teachers.
