3. Further Studies
This study provides some information that can be used by the other researchers as references for their study. Since this study is a preliminary study,
other studies to continue investigating the related topic are suggested.
F. Definition of Terms
The researcher uses some terms from some experts. There are three terms of this study. They are classroom management, misbehaviors, and young learners.
1. Classroom Management
According to Carolyn and Edmund 2006 classroom management is a broad concept that encompasses set of behaviors and strategies that teachers use to
guide student behavior in the classroom. Meanwhile, Johnson and Bany as cited in Clark Starr, 1991 explain that classroom management is the process of
establishing and maintaining the internal environment of the group and the classroom conditions for the attainment of educational gols which consist of
provision and procedure. In this study, classroom management refers to the strategies of the teachers
which can be used to handle misbehaviors of young learners. The classroom management is conducted by a teacher in Pangudi Luhur Elementary School
Yogyakarta who teaches in grade two. In fact, grade two students have some
misbehaviors in classroom. Therefore, the teacher is required to manage misbehaviors of students in the English classroom.

2. Misbehaviors
Charles 2005 divides the term of behavior into four types. The first term is behavior. It is everything people do, good or bad, right or wrong, helpful of
useless, productive or wasteful. The second term is desirable school behavior which means students show self-control, responsibility and consideration and
respect for others, and usually involves cooperation and helpfulness. The third term is misbehavior. It is a behavior that is inappropriate for the setting or
situation in which it occurs. The last term is classroom misbehavior which means behavior that through intent or thoughtlessness interferes with teaching or
learning, threatens or intimidates others or oversteps society’s standards of moral, ethical, or legal behavior.
In this study, classroom misbehavior is a behavior that disturbs teaching and learning situation in the English classroom. The students make inappropriate
movements, and produce inappropriate verbal comments during the process of teaching and learning.
3. Young Learners
McDevit and Ormrod 2010 mention that young learners are children who are six up to ten years old or who are studying in elementary school. According to
Moon 2005, young learners are naturally curious and active. They eagerly explore their environment and interact with people, and this characteristic helps
them to construct their understanding of the world they live in. In addition, Piaget as cited in Brewster Jean, et.al., 2007 presents young learners as actively
