This study aimed to explore classroom management (CM) practices at a higher education institution in Oman. The study deployed observation to gather data from a sample which comprised7teachers to identify misbehavior learner’s display in classrooms and approaches teachers adopt to manage such misbehavior. The results of the study indicated that misbehavior included, but not limited to, the misuse of technology and native language among learners. Further, in most situations, direct conversations were used to deal with misbehavior. Based on the findings, some recommendations were given to enhance the quality of the teaching-learning process.
