Your college English club's room has several problems and you want to
redesign it. Based on the following article and the results of a
questionnaire given to members, you make a handout for a group discussion.

| [What Makes a Good Classroom?] |
| Diana Bashworth, writer at Trends in Education |
| |
| As many schools work to improve their classrooms, it is important to |
|have some ideas for making design decisions. SIN, which stands for |
|Stimulation, Individualization, and Naturalness, is a framework that |
|might be helpful to consider when designing classrooms. |
| The first, Stimulation, has two aspects: color and complexity. This |
|has to do with the ceiling, floor, walls, and interior furnishings. For |
|example, a classroom that lacks colors might be uninteresting. On the |
|other hand, a classroom should not be too colorful. A bright color could|
|be used on one wall, on the floor, window coverings, or furniture. In |
|addition, it can be visually distracting to have too many things |
|displayed on walls. It is suggested that 20 to 30 percent of wall space |
|remain free. |
| The next item in the framework is Individualization, which includes |
|two considerations: ownership and flexibility. Ownership refers to |
|whether the classroom feels personalized. Examples of this include |
|having chairs and desks that are suitable for student sizes and ages, |
|and providing storage space and areas for displaying student works or |
|projects. Flexibility is about having a classroom that allows for |
|different kinds of activities. |
| Naturalness relates to the quality and quantity of light, both natural|
|and artificial, and the temperature of the classroom. Too much natural |
|light may make screens and boards difficult to see; students may have |
|difficulty reading or writing if there is a lack of light. In addition, |
|hot summer classrooms do not promote effective study. Schools should |
|install systems allowing for the adjustment of both light and |
|temperature. |
| While Naturalness is more familiar to us, and therefore often |
|considered the priority, the other components are equally important. |
|Hopefully, these ideas can guide your project to a successful end. |

|[Q2: What do you think about the current English club's room?] |
|Main comments: |
|Student 1(S1): I can't see the projector screen and whiteboard well on a|
| sunny day. Also, there's no way to control the temperature. |
|S2: By the windows, the sunlight makes it hard to read. The other side |
| of the room doesn't get enough light. Also, the books are disorganized|
| and the walls are covered with posters. It makes me feel uncomfortable.|
|S3: The chairs don't really fit me and the desks are hard to move when |
| we work in small groups. Also, lots of members speak Japanese, even |
| though it's an English club. |
|S4: The pictures of foreign countries on the walls make me want to speak|
| English. Everyone likes the sofas――they are so comfortable that we |
| often use the room for sleeping! |
|S5: The room is so far away, so I hardly ever go there! Aren't there |
| other rooms available? |
|S6: There's so much gray in the room. I don't like it. But it's good |
| that there are plenty of everyday English phrases on the walls! |
