Since EFL is supposed to be about communication and communication, at least to me, is a two-way street, I thought it may be good to see how different student groups respond in class on a scale of 0 to 10 with 0 being those wouldn't say boo to you if your hair was on fire and 10 being the never-shut-up sorts who make classes fun if exhausting and help the time fly by. When I started here most were around 4 but now we're up to 6 and sometimes I can see 7 just around the corner. And you? Oh, here is Slovakia btw. |

My experience is that you can have a wide variety in any one class. I find it's pretty typical to have plenty of 3s and 4s, with a couple of 8s or 9s to liven things up. |

I don't share your enthusiasm. Sorry. Do you realize that you are simply asking who among the hundreds of countries in the world has had a 1-10 experience with students?
Answers will vary, not only on country, but on teacher perception and on the type of school -- elementary, junior high, senior high, college (liberal arts to science majors), junior college, technical school, business school, conversation schools, private businesses, etc.
Frankly, I don't see the point. |
