Data collection techniques in this study were interviews and questionnaire. The results showed that in teaching and learning English in a large class, there were found three main challenges that must be faced by the teacher, namely the difficulty in giving attention to each individual in the class, heterogeneous student abilities and the difference of student background knowledge.

The application of classroom management skills includes asking skills, explaining skills, variation skills, and teaching a group and individual skills.References
