position of the desks
 

I am starting an extra English course for my students, and I �d like to change the postion of the desks in the classroom... we have the traditonal pattern: teacher �s desk in front of the student �s desks, I �d like to change them giving a " cosier" atmosphere to the classroom... Any ideas?

thanks

I really like the U shape, if you have the room for it.

I think you have to consider the number of students, their age and the space available in your class. Personally like Douglas I prefer the U shape or semi circles. Here are some more articles  that may give you ideas.
