The writer's first claim is that due to the primarily physical nature of both verbal and nonverbal communication there is an intrinsic need for modifiable work areas, i.e. variable space, in language teaching/learning situations. The full implications of group work for the planning of classroom space are then outlined and the description of the way a classroom can be converted into a cluster of language learning centres provides an example of physically induced teaching/learning flexibility. Several kinds of user-friendly furniture are described, and the writer also shows how chairs and desks should be arranged in a communicative classroom. The conclusion is a reminder that converting a classroom into language learning centers is the converse of transforming a language laboratory into a classroom. All this, of course, takes time and involves noise and movement and personal relations ... and above all communication, one with another: the vital thing so often cut off in a schoolroom.
