53 and Walters 2008, a teacher should not start explaining until students are
listening and watching p. 40. Scrivener 2005 suggests that a teacher should walk around the
classroom, and monitor if the students get confused p. 93. However, during the learning and teaching process, the teacher walked around the classroom. The
teacher monitored the students’ work, and gave the instruction again if the students did not understand.
c. Timing
In the result finding, the teacher said that the situation which commonly occurred related to the students’ misbehavior was the time, and the most was
when it came to the transitions from one activity to another activity. The students could not be well controlled. Mckenzie 2006 states that transitions from one
activity to another need to be smooth enough for students to easily follow. Meanwhile, there were some students who did not finish their work on
time. It was happened due to the students’ disability to be serious. While the students were doing the task, they did inappropriate movements, and produce
inappropriate verbal comments. In addition, Thornbury 2010 suggests that the teacher in young learners’ classroom should keep “the pace of the lesson fairly
upbeat”. When making the plan of the lesson, it is wise to consider the usage of time-controlled activities such as group work, role plays, and doing the work.

3. The Teacher’s Strategies
This part answered research problem number three, what are the teacher’s strategies to manage the students’ misbehaviors?
A teacher has to dislike the misbehaviors, not the students. Cohen, Manion, and Marrison suggest that the teacher should not criticize the students,
but their behavior 2005, p. 304. Therefore, the teacher needed strategies to deal with the misbehaviors. Based on the results finding above, it could be concluded
that there were three strategies which were used by the English teacher of grade two in Pangudi Luhur Elementary School Yogyakarta. The first strategy is making
some rules. Then, the second strategy is giving motivation, and the last strategy is voice and body language. Those strategies are described as follows.
a. Rules
In managing the behavior problem which happened in the classroom, teacher created a rule. However, the rule was just created in class 2 PL 2. In the
teacher’s opinion the students of class 2 PL 2 were the most difficult class to control than other classes. In addition, Cohen, Manion, and Morrison 2005
suggest establishing adequate r ules controlling students’ misbehavior as the most
effective way to prevent misbehavior p. 295. Gower, Philips, and Walters 2008 state, “the most rules are based on
moral, personal, legal, safety, and educational considerations” p. 295. However, the rule which the teacher has created is, if the students made noise, they would
clean the school’ yard, and stay in the classroom. The teacher would give a punishment. The punishment was writing “I am a good student” in one full of
