In the documentary Are Our Kids Tough Enough, five Chinese teachers went to teach at a High School in Hampshire, England, and had a final assessment comparison of the quality of teaching with the English teachers. The collision of different cultures in the documentary has caused people to ponder over education both at home and abroad. This study explores effective classroom strategies and the positive role of cross-cultural factors in Chinese and English classroom management models to build an effective and dynamic classroom. Through a comparative study of Chinese and English classroom management models, this paper mainly finds out that English teachers tend to be more free-ranging in classroom management. Besides, the classroom atmosphere is relaxed, and students are active in thinking, but not concentrative. Chinese teachers, on the other hand, tend to have very serious management styles, and set strict discipline in the classroom. They concentrate under high pressure and, to a certain extent, suppress students’ flexibility. In addition, this paper also elaborated three elements which are closely related to classroom management: (1). Teaching methods; (2). Teaching activity design; (3). Assessment. Through the comparative study, we find that Chinese classroom management model is more rigid, in which teachers can easily grasp the situation, but the classroom atmosphere is not very active. The British classroom management model is more flexible; students will not be too constrained, and classroom atmosphere is more active. But this has higher request to the teacher’s classroom management ability: avoiding loss of control of the classroom discipline.
