It is increasingly difficult to capture the attention of our students. I do not know if you happen to you but, sometimes, I have to juggle my students to get involved in my class and I pay attention.

One way to capture the attention of our students is with activities and games. These are often called warmers, or activities to "warm up" the class.

I use them quite, especially in my college classes. But these activities can be used with almost any age and, I assure, that shall come great, not only for "Charmed" to your students, but also to review and work concepts in a fun way.

I wont activities can be used both in your English class, as in a class of Spanish as a foreign language, or even in a language class.

I leave 10 Activities that "you calentéis" your class and you make that your students want unmissable 😉

The number of students per class is a topic that has been discussed and that, from my point of view, It will continue discussing much.

On the one hand, are teachers and educators, most of which argue that the number of students should be less than actual, in many cases 31 class size, if you want to improve the academic performance of these. And on the other, are the institutions, center directors, etc. ensuring that the number of students does not affect your performance.

But, Who is right? It has objectively verified whether the number of students actually affects the academic performance?

These are the questions I will try to answer today.
