Cambodia ideas

If children need to learn English in a hurry, and they do because they have too many other things to do to learn it slowly, or to be wasting any time as they go about it, would they be better in clusters rather than classes?

Classes tend to comprise a set of kids who are presumably at the same level working on the same thing. Clusters often have chilren of different ages at different stages and they work together in the family tradition. Khmer children are used to looking after younger children and can probably do so without noticing. Older children, who are more advanced in English, might benefit from reading to younger children who are not. The older children speak Khmer, so they can explain the meaning of words and stories, for example. Also, if children are in clusters, what might have happened once across a group can happen once for each cluster - ie there can be four parallel classes instead of one, so more talking and listening, reading and writing can happen
