Teaching large groups
Hi everyone,
I need some advice from experienced teachers.
I am used to teaching small groups (15 people a group maximum) but I have started working with 30 student groups and I find it difficult to keep in control. For example, I don't seem to get enough time to monitor pair or group work. Another problem is keeping the students interested.
The students I am talking about are in their early 20s.
Thanks for the advice.

Wolfrolf, hope you won't mind if I say something here, I'm a student.
I don't know if what I am going to say will work with your students, but, at least it worked for my teacher.
He started treating us as if he was one more among us, do you know what I mean? You won't do anything by saying "Hey, you have to pay attention to me, I am the teacher!", this way you will only make thi
