ESL Classes: How many students are ideal?
Please listen and share your ideas and opinions on this topic.
I think it's 4-6people is the best. If there are lots of people I would hesitate to ask questions. As you are saying,only 1 or 2 is also not good. Too much attention for me from the teacher. Even number student ,such as 4,6,8,10 is easy to make a group.
I also think that a small group of students (fom 5 to 10) is an ideal class size. The regular teacher is able to give each and every one of them special attention ( and concentrate on their needs), and the students would also be able to learn from each other by having the chance to speak without having to wait for long turns.
