Abstract

Due to the different emphasis westerners and Chinese understand “small class English teaching “differently. Westerners pay more attention to the number of students when “small class English teaching is mentioned”; while Chinese advocate the spirit of “small class English teaching”. Chinese purpose is to promote students’ development in all-around way. This essay focuses on both of the two ideas. Obviously, small class teaching can benefit both the students and the teachers. But it is a big challenge for college teachers to change their teaching methods, teaching principals, teaching skills and techniques because they are accustomed to the old way. Setting up clear teaching and learning goals, encouraging students’ participation, reflecting teaching process constantly, building up effective assessment system for students’ class performance and cultivating their team spirit are the key factors to “small class English teaching”.
