There were ten research articles as the source of data and it was documentation. The analysis data used content analysis because it attempted to apply cross-analysis to find out the main points among the research articles. The study result shows that in order to make EFL teachers manage the classroom activities, they are required to have a bunch of pedagogy knowledge such as designing material, teaching activities, evaluation, and feedback.
