According to Oxford (1999 p. 50) Teacher´s roles and styles are so important in
the classroom management, because teacher has to play many roles in the
class such as, authority, figure, leader or figure, but the role depend on the
country you are in, on the institution in which you are teaching, on the type of
course, and on the makeup of your students, some of these roles will be more
prominent than others, especially in the eyes of your students.
Oxford argues that for growing comfortable and confident in playing multiple
roles, two rules of thumb are a willing acceptance of many ways that students
will perceive you and a consistent fairness to all students equally. Know
yourself, your limitations, your strengths, your likes and dislikes, and then
accept the fact that you are called upon to be many things to many different
people. Then, as you become more comfortable with, say, being an authority
figure, be consistent in all yours dealings with students.

He argues that is essential than teachers implement only one style, because in
this way students learn much better and the knowledge is more clear and
complete.
I think that during the classroom management the teacher have to control the
attention of whole class, not only interact with the active students, even is
important that teacher uses a sweet voice in order to student paid attention to
the class, explain the objectives to the activities for that students knows the
procedure.
The continue interaction among teacher and student is so important to, because
this strategy proportionate opportunities for that all the students learn and
receive knowledge in successful way. Classroom management requires that
teacher understand in more than one way the developmental level of their
students. Classroom Management is effective with practice, feedback, and
willingness to learn from mistakes.
