Classrooms of 20 Students: A Complete Myth
Preparing in large classes simply doesn't work for spoken exams like SELT. In a 90-minute class of 20 students, each student gets about 4 minutes of speaking time. This is highly ineffective.
The Benefits of Small Groups (Max 4)
- More Speaking Time: Every student speaks for a solid portion of the class.
- Personalized Feedback: The teacher catches every accent, grammar, and vocabulary error instantly.
- Confidence Building: Speaking in front of a warm small group eliminates final exam anxiety.
