Abstract

This research article investigates classroom management in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction at QUEST Nawabshah, Pakistan. It explores classroom dynamics, teacher-student interactions, and the unique challenges within this educational environment. Using qualitative methods, including observations and focus-group interviews, the study identifies current classroom management practices and their impact on learners' motivation, engagement, and achievement. The participants in this qualitative research study include 20 English as Foreign Language (EFL) students. These students were purposefully chosen to reflect a variety of backgrounds, language proficiency levels, and experiences in EFL classes. The findings reveal teaching flaws, such as unclear instructions and limited interaction, along with learner issues like passivity and a fear of making mistakes. The article concludes by discussing practical implications and recommendations for enhancing EFL classroom management, benefiting both educators and students.
