What are some challenges that
larger classes can have?
Proficiency and ability vary widely
across students.
• You tend to rely on lectures,
videos, and other whole-class
presentations.
• A good deal of group work might
be unmonitored, and “reports”
from groups may have to be
randomly selected.
• Individual teacher-student
attention is minimized.
• Student opportunities to speak to
the whole class are lessened.
• Teacher’s feedback on students’
written work is limited
What are some possible solutions
for these challenges?
Try to make each student feel important
Assign students as much interactive work
as possible
Optimize the use of pair work and small-
group work
Do more than the usual number of

Challenges of using Target Language Only”


in the Classroom?
teachers who may not feel highly
confident in their L2 proficiency are
tempted to use more of the L1 than may
be pedagogically advisable. And while
students may welcome the chance to
receive input in their L1, it might not fully
challenge students to put forth the effort
that they should.
Guidelines for using and not using l1s in
the classroom
Set clear guidelines.
Explain the value of using the L2.
Stimulate intrinsic motivation.
Choose appropriate tasks.
Create in your classroom an L2 “atmosphere.”
