Definition : A teaching/learning format in which all of the ss are all doing the same thing, at and in the same time, and are expected to achieve the same results.
Example : Any course where the class follows the same coursebook /curriculum, and works through the activities in unison, led by the teacher.
The term is sometimes used by EFL writers to mean only Teacherled, full class work (as opposed to Pairwork and Groupwork). However, in PW/GW learners are still all doing the same thing in the same amount of time, and this is a much narrower definition than the general use in education (see eg here) where it is used to contrast with differentiated or individualised learning, where the learners have a personalised curriculum, objectives and materials, and/or can work on activities at their own pace.
