Abstract
This action research project was done in a fifth grade at Colegio Miguel
Cruchaga Tocornal elementary school, Puente Alto. Strategies were
developed to teach English to children and deal with disruptive behavior in a
fifth grade. My proposal to solve this issue was looking for new teaching
methodologies. For this reason, the topics that this research covers are
teaching methods and classroom management, in order to improve the
quality of learning of my students. I had to make several changes in my
teaching practice, since it was not completely effective in terms of learning; as
a consequence my students misbehave. This project was mostly focused on
quantitative research methodology. I interviewed directly my fifth grade
students with the purpose of collecting reliable data. They shared their
experience in the English class. The main idea was to identify the causes why
students misbehave. The results were analyzed to have a vision about how to
hold an effective classroom management. As a conclusion, the appropriate
strategies were not The Grammar-Translation Method; in contrast, the
Communicative Language Teaching is a method that I felt comfortable with,
because my students were able to participate in class. Also, it was crucial to
get students involved in the activity and the topic.
