Description: The topic of this research is The influence of large classes in the English teaching-learning process in Ecuadorian high schools, and its purpose is to determine how large classes affect or not the English language teaching-learning process. The study was conducted in five classrooms, from 8th basic to 3rd senior year, that were selected from a public high school in the city of Cariamanga; all the selected courses had over 35 students. The sample consisted of 179 participants whose ages ranged between 12 and 17 years old; they attended regular classes in the morning. The methods applied in this research were qualitative and quantitative. The data was collected using instruments such as questionnaires and note-taking. The gathered information was tabulated using both the questionnaires and the result charts. Main findings showed that students’ answers were generally positive regarding the instructional implications of large classes. Among social implications, it was shown that teachers who work with large classes have problems when remembering students’ names. Finally, it was found that large classes affect the quality of classroom atmosphere, students’ confidence to speak in class, and the teachers’ level of attention towards their pupils.
