These can be affordable, but they often lack the speaking practice and personal feedback that lead to real progress. A small-group online class solves many of these problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The problem with large classes<strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a class of 20 or 30 students, each person may only speak for a few minutes per lesson. The teacher cannot correct every mistake or adapt the pace to each student. The result is often:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strong reading and grammar knowledge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weak speaking and listening skills<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Little confidence in real conversations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is common in university language programs, where one teacher serves many students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why 4\u20138 students works better<strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a small group, each student gets more chances to speak. The teacher can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Correct pronunciation immediately<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask follow-up questions to push students to produce more language<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust the lesson speed based on the group\u2019s level<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a comfortable environment where students are not afraid to make mistakes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">XINSCHOOL keeps its online group classes at 4\u20138 students.
