the analysis of classroom observation shows that the number of students is
relatively high with respect to the area of the classroom. It was observed that the
teachers cannot move beyond the two groups in the front of the classroom. This
indicates that the other three groups are deprived of the teacher’s assistance and
monitoring. Generally all the teachers in the observed classes do not pay attention to
monitor the students while doing group work. The teachers tend to finish other work or
get busy with something else, such as looking at some papers or at the laptop.
However, if some groups need the teacher's assistance, the teacher either goes to them,
if they are one of the front groups, and help them using the Arabic language or she
responds to their assistance need by talking to the whole class using Arabic or English
language.
