Dear TBLers

Could you please let me know  in what size classes you are using TBL and how successfully TBL works in very big classes. The point of this exercise is that in September I am going to deliver a paper at Stellenbosch University on my experience this year of incorporating TBL as part of creating a "community of co-learning" in my class where the HE teacher is a co-learner with the students.

I know that there will be questions about class size and protests that my classes are very small (26) and what about a class of 100 or 200-300. Do any of you have these huge classes and how do you cope with TBL? Can TBL work in a huge class seated in a big lecture theatre? I would like to report to the conference what actual practitioners of TBL in big classes have to say.

Thanks in advance for your co-operation.
