Abstract

The present research work entitled CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND STUDENTS´ INTEREST TO LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WITH STUDENTS OF 8TH, 9TH AND 10TH YEARS OF BASIC EDUCATION AT “MANUEL ENRIQUE RENGEL” HIGH SCHOOL. ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013, has been made with the purpose of determining the influence of learning environment on the students´ interest to learn English language. In the development of the work, the scientific method has been used as a general one which has helped to find the true about the researched object. And as particular methods: the descriptive method was used to describe the data, the analytic-synthetic one was used to analyze the results, and the explicative one was used to explain the phenomena and to elaborate the final report. In the field, the instrument of the interview was applied to the teachers, and the survey to the students, who provide information to prove the stated hypotheses through a logical analysis by using the descriptive statistics that helped to describe the results in tables and graphs. Among the main results of the research, it was found that there are some factors such as classroom size, noise, lack of equipment, number of students, which affect in a negative way the learning environment of the students and their concentration. It was also found that teachers do not use interactive activities to reduce the students´ stress and get their interest to learn. For that reason, they consider the English language a boring subject, giving as consequence that the teaching-learning process cannot be developed as well as posible. Therefore, it has been demonstrated that classroom management has certain influence on the students´ interest to learn the English language with students of 8th, 9th and 10th years of Basic Education at “Manuel Enrique Rengel” High School. Academic Year 2012-2013.
