- the teacher is in control – this does not mean that s/he dominates the class or
is standing in front of the class telling everyone what to do. The teacher may hand
over the initiative I a particular situation to the students and then s/he can take it
back.
- teacher and students are cooperating smoothly – so that is the class can
proceed smoothly, the students need to cooperate with the teacher and with each
other as well.
