If we ask the teachers what an ideal class is, I think all of them will say, a small size, students are in the same level and motivated to learn. But in fact, a lot of times, we will have to face very difficult situation. I had the experience that there were 50 students in one class and some could express themselves very well while some only could say ?my name is?? and ?how are you??. Even the worse, they were young learners; some were as naughty as monkeys. After learning this course, I think I have gained some useful points. For example, if I?m teaching adults students in a big class, I will give them the same material but different tasks, or pair stronger students with weaker ones. For young learners, choral repetition, group leaders (sometimes let the naughty students to be the leaders), interesting group competition games and some rewards will help to maintain the discipline and to get most of the students involved.
