I've taught ESL in China. Chinese classrooms from elementary school, middle school, high school, and college are huge. There can be anywhere from 40, 50, 60, or 70 students. One teacher I met had to teach a high school class of over 100 students. Now I am sure everyone knows the answer to this next question of "how can one learn a foreign language in such a class?" The answer is not extremely well. As a result, while the student has learned English for five, six, or seven years, only a small minority can communicate at a somewhat effective level.
