Students are between 9 and 10 years old. The class is set in a private school in China, within an affluent area. The school has a reputation for above average English performance. While most students are Chinese nationals, there are two Korean born students, and four who were born in American and lived there until last year. Both the Korean students and the American born students are currently at a much higher level of English proficiency. This needs to be taken into account when grouping, but should be an advantage overall, for so many extra helpers :smiley:
