Abstract
Large classes represent a challenge in the English teaching-learning process as they hinder effective communication between teachers and students, and active participation in the classroom as well. This study aimed to analyze students' experiences’ problems and teaching strategies in large English classes. The research was based on a descriptive quantitative method to describe students' experiences in problems and strategies present in an English classroom with a large number of students. For data collection, a questionnaire was applied to 37 eighth-semester students of the Pedagogy of the English Language major at the Technical University of Cotopaxi. The results reveal that communication between teachers and students is one of the most noticeable difficulties, impacting the clarity of instructions and interaction within the classroom. Regarding teaching strategies, students consider group work and pair work to be effective methods for improving participation and learning. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the teaching-learning dynamics in large groups and highlight the importance of implementing appropriate pedagogical strategies to optimize English learning in large classes.
