Routine 
Something which is done regularly such as a teacher setting writing homework every Friday. Teachers try to develop 
some routine habits in the classroom, e.g. always asking students to record new words with their meaning and an 
example sentence. 
 
Seating arrangement

tables. 
 
Seating plan 
A plan of where the students should sit in the classroom. 
Teacher role

directions or instructions at the front of the class or to take a less controlling role, monitoring students as they work.
