    This dissertation aims at investigating whether English teachers in Modern Language School (MLS) and Ecole des Arts et Métiers (ECAM) private schools in Tizi-Ouzou (Algeria) use Behavior Modification Techniques to restrict learners‟ disruptive behavior in order to provide an appropriate classroom environment. The study also sought to identify the different types of behavior modification techniques that English teachers use, as well as the extent to which these techniques are effective for classroom management. This study has been conducted on the basis of the approach of behavior modification set by Taylors‟ and Mackenneys‟ book entitled Improving Human Learning in the Classroom (2008). To carry out this study, we opted for the use of Mixed Methods Research, combining the quantitative and qualitative methods. Indeed, the research tools used are a questionnaire, distributed to fifteen(15) teachers of English in ECAM private school and fifteen (15) teachers in MLS private school and a structured interview conducted with five (5) teachers of the same category. The outcomes were analyzed using Statistical Analysis and Qualitative Content Analysis. The findings of the study confirmed the first and the second hypotheses that English teachers do use different behavior modification techniques to modify learners‟ disruptive behavior in order to establish appropriate classroom environment. Another conclusion emerged in the presented study is that according to the teachers‟ answers, the use of behavior modification techniques is effective for classroom management.
