| Summary: | This research was aimed to identify problems faced by an English teacher in managing a large class and to describe strategies the teacher employed for that purpose. It was conducted at a vocational school in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Descriptive qualitative approach was used in the study, with interview and observation as the main data collection techniques. One English teacher was involved as the research participant.
