The classroom environment varies based on the teacher, room arrangement, sounds, light, temperature, and decorations that are present within each space. With the classrooms undergoing these changes, many are moving away from the name of a classroom and towards the name of ‘learning centers’ (Beard & Wilson, 2013, p. 97).

The focus of this study was to look at how the seating layout effects participation and assessment performance overall as a class.

poten-tially expands this area, known as the action zone, to the whole classroom. Seating arrangements therefore can play an important role in the formation of. interper-sonal dynamics and identity formation among students and their teachers. In this paper, the purposes and ways of using circular seatin. in language classrooms will be explored ...
