    A plan of a physical layout of a Year 4 English Language classroom


    to enable participation of pupils in large classes

    This classroom arrangement works by grouping desks in fours. This


    arrangement encourages active learning as all students are able to
    engage themselves in activities conducted during the learning process
    especially when they are asked to perform group tasks. Moreover, this
    arrangement is great for supporting group projects and fostering better
    collaboration. When students sit in groups, they can discuss an issue or
    a topic together. For example, teachers can give a question to the
    students and let them think individually and share their own opinions and
    ideas with other students in the group. This arrangement is also great for
    pupils in large classes as it does not use up too much space.

    Teacher Desk
    This is a place for teachers to plan, answer school e-mail, write
    individualized education programs (IEPs), and keep records. A teacher
    desk and chair are usually sufficient furnishings. The teacher is also able
    to visually scan the entire classroom when sitting in the teacher work
    area. As a teaching tool, having a specific and well-defined teacher work
    area allows opportunities to teach students the important concept of
    honouring and respecting boundaries. Students must learn that some
    places or sections of the classroom are off-limits to them. Students
    would know that this is the teacher’s separate and private work area and
    understand the importance of boundaries and private areas as well. This
    directly translates into appropriate work habits that will be required for
    the successful employment of our students in the future.

    Notice Board
    All students need an individual schedule. Sometimes the students'
    schedules need to be located at the notice board so that they would
    know which students need to take their schedules to do their work or
    duty. Moreover, the teacher can also paste some important notices like
    classroom rules, memos and important announcements on the notice
    board. Besides, if the students have done a wonderful job, the teacher
    may paste the students’ work on the board so the other students can see
    and try to improve their work.
    Classroom Library
    The function of a classroom library is to support reading and writing
    instruction of the students. Classroom library with books and other media
    materials to support student learning in all of the daily curriculum
    subjects, including materials related to science, health, mathematics,
    history, economics, geography, music, art, drama, dance, languages,
    grammar, spelling, literature, computers, and other topics.

    Reading Area
    Every reading-ready classroom should provide a quiet and comfortable
    place for students to read independently or with a partner or small group.
    A good reading area should include comfortable seating. This is because
    the reading area functions as a gathering spot where students and
    teachers can express their lives as readers. Besides, the reading area
    also provides a place for teachers to teach and children to learn about
    books and book selection.

    Computer Station
    This area contains computers, tables and chairs. Because this
    equipment requires electricity, this area needs to be in close proximity to
    electrical outlets. The computers need to be close to a specific wall in
    order to be connected for Internet access. The location of electrical
    outlets and Internet connections is the single most important
    consideration and the starting point for the teacher to arrange his or her
    classroom. In addition, the location of computers should be such that
    students who are not working with them will not be distracted by those
    who are.
    Work Station (Student Desk)
    This station is a place for students to begin a task, do the task, finish the
    task, and put the finished task away without assistance. The use of a
    work station is an instructional strategy that teaches appropriate work
    habits and independence. For each work station, the teacher will need a
    desk or a table, a place to put the work or assignment that is to be
    completed, and a place to put the finished work. If the student is
    physically active and needs to move frequently, locating the work a short
    distance away so that he or she must leave his or her seat to get or put
    away work allows opportunities for purposeful movement. Wherever the
    work is placed, it is important that the student can access it quickly and
    easily.
