Abstract:
This paper encourages teachers to tackle problems of teaching in large classes and it
aims for the researchers. The University of Computer Studies Yangon, Myanmar is the IT
leading university and encounters with difficulties in large class size consisting of forty to
sixty, and even eighty students in each class, which leads to lack of engagement in language
teaching. In this situation, both teachers and students unintentionally experience the passive
teaching and learning environment. To overcome this, teachers have created some applicable
teaching techniques to facilitate students in their second language learning through limited
resources. In previous time, teacher-centered method was used but learner-focused teaching
is now being applied through critical reflection on professional practice. Some methods such
as clickers for reading skill; project paper and minute paper for writing skill; think-pair-share
and making presentation for speaking skill; and listening activities in language laboratory
,etc. have been done. It can be said that by means of teaching-learning facilitation mentioned
above, large classes can be managed by changing teaching methods to increase students’
participation plus interest.
