Teaching Large Classes

Abstract

Large classroom size is a challenge faced by many teachers and learners in many parts of the world. In Libya, large classes have been clearly seen in public schools and universities. Investigations of large class size and other challenges involved in teaching big number of students constitute the main focus of the researcher's concern in this paper. This area has not been given the full attention by Libyan researchers/authorities and if there is any investigation done has not proposed any practical suggestions/strategies that teachers could benefit from. The researcher, based on his qualitative and quantitative data, will propose some strategies which have been proposed by teachers themselves for addressing common challenges in large classes in Tripoli.
