Thailand Causes Of Students Chinese Classroom Behavior Problems And Coping Strategies

Recent years, the rising international position and the national strength of China lead to the booming of Chinese learning in the range of whole world. As a close neighbor of China, Thailand has become the important base for the promotion of Chinese language teaching. Since Thailand abolishedthe restricting policy of Chinese in 1992,various Thai people gradually recognized the importance of learning Chinese.From that on, Chinese teaching and learning became a new wave in most of the study venues from elementary schools to universities.However, due to the philosophy of education, national culture and the capability of Chineseteachersand other reasons, made the classroom management of Chinese teaching becomes difficult in primary and secondary schools in Thailand. Be more specific, the teaching methods of Chinese teachers could not catch up with contemporary situation or fit in the macro-environment of Thailand.Due to these reasons, Chinese teaching became time-wasting and low-efficient to some degree.Therefore, incurrent time, there are still some problems among Chinese teaching.The class management is the premise and guarantee that keeps the teaching methods could be efficient. At the same time, the management and teaching also restrict and depend on each other. In Thailand,the bad behaviors of students during the teaching process become the common problem, and these bad behaviors lead to negative effects on the Chinese teaching. From the aspect of students, they consider the reasons of bad behaviors as lacking of interests and low capability of self-control. On the contrary, it is low degrees of studying, giving up on themselves and lacking of family education that lead to the bad behaviors in classrooms. However, the reasons are not this simple.From the aspect of students, the negative effects from their peers and the effects from internet, such as online games and fandom, also lead to the bad behaviors in classrooms; from the perspective of teachers, their teaching ability, management ability, the relationship with students also affected students’ attitude, evenplays an important role which directly affects on students’behaviors. From the perspective of cross-cultural education, the different educational philosophy, purposes, different teaching methods, the cultural-shock, as well as specific policies and guidelines of schoolshave direct impacts on students and teachers. This paper attempts to have a research on the reasons of the bad behaviors, according to the specific behaviors in classroom. In addition to this, this paper will supply some preventive measures and coping strategies for optimizing classroom teaching, improve teaching quality and providing some samples of teaching methods.Based on the reference of relative research results from worldwide, I applied observation, interviews, questionnaire and experimental methods, to have a specific research on the appearance and reasons of the classroom behaviors. The conclusions follow:(1) Thai high school English classroom presented three characteristics: Firstly,the classroom behavior is common national problem; secondly,the classroom behavior problems have concentrated; then, the student classroom behavior problem in Thailand has objectivity.(2) The reasons for the behaviors consist of students, followed by the environment, teachers and family. There will be a detailed analysis of these four factors.(3) In Thai high schools, some teachers can take some measures to cope with the problems of student behavior, but overall, the teacher’s classroom management awareness is still relatively weak. They cannot effectively prevent, aware of and cope with the behaviors. However, most of the methods that teachers have adopted are their personal experiences and lacking of theoretical guidance. Finally, I supply some suggestions from the aspects of teachers, school administrators and students.I wish there would be some assistance in improving the overall level of high school teacher in Thailand classroom management, and furthermore, improving teaching methods and lifting students’ learning efficiency.
