Proximity
Teachers should consider how close they want to be to the students they are working with.

Appropriacy
Deciding how closely you should work with students is a matter of appropriacy.

Movement
Most successful teachers move around the classroom. They can retain their students’ interest or work more closely with smaller groups.

Contact
• Being able to move around the class• Making eye contact with students• Listening to what they have said and responding
appropriately
It is almost impossible to help students to learn a language in a classroom setting without making contact with them.

Audibility
Teachers need to be audible. They must be sure that the students at the back of the class can hear them just as well as those at the front.
Audibility IS NOT shouting!

Variety
It is important for teachers to vary the quality of their voices – and the volume they speak at – depending on the type of activity.
e.g. the kind of voice you use to give instructions or introduce a new activity will be different from the voice which is most appropriate for the conversation.

Conservation
It is important that teachers vary their voices throughout a day;Avoiding shouting wherever possible;So, teachers can conserve their vocal energy.
Conserving the voice is one thing teachers will want to take into account when planning a day’s or a week’s work.
