Abstract
Small group teaching can be a most rewarding experience for both teacher and student. To achieve success you will need to plan carefully and develop skills in group management. You should avoid the common error of believing that constructive discussion in groups will happen spontaneously. To avoid difficulties you will need an understanding of how groups work and how to apply a range of small group techniques to achieve the goals you set out to achieve.
