All teachers will encounter chatter in their classes. It's an inescapable reality and, yes, it can be a pain to have to reframe your class when it happens. But it's part of classroom management. On his YouTube channel, teacher and trainer Naïm Bououchma has decided to tackle the subject and explain how he goes about disciplining his students.
First of all, never start a class by trying to talk over the students who are discussing. This shows the students that the teacher can do his or her own talking. You have to proactively seek attention, even with a certain empathy, taking into account the need to talk, but that this is an important moment when things need to be explained.
If students start chattering away during the teacher's talk, rather than interrupting every time, it may be better to move towards the people concerned while continuing to talk to and about others.
When a student takes the floor, it's vital from the outset to reiterate the respect owed to him or her and, if some argue during, stop the student and ask the others to respect his or her word as theirs will be respected when they speak.
Finally, as he says, informal chatting is necessary; even teachers indulge in it extensively in plenary sessions. So allowing time for it, whether as part of teamwork or otherwise, will reduce the need for reframing in lessons.

"This research work opens up a space of intersection between an associative activity of training migrants, their encounter with employers and the academic view of these facts.
