Runway
This set-up is best for smaller
classes and puts the emphasis on
the teacher. The teacher uses the
runway between the two rows of
tables facing each other to lead
the class. This arrangement is
great for discussions and lectures.

Stadion
A variation on the classical
row arrangement and
runway. The tables are
grouped together, but all face
the same direction. Like the
runway, this arrangement is
best for teacher-centred
classes.

Combination
This configuration is ideal for
classes with students with
different learning levels, learning
styles and behavioural problems.
You can combine each
configuration to best suit your
needs and the abilities of your
students. For example, set up part
of the room as rows for students
who need to focus on individual
work and another part as mini-
horseshoes for students who need
more discussion-oriented
activities.
