Small group teaching is a paradigm shift from the traditional teaching strategies that promote rote learning since they are teacher centered. This is a learner centered approach which appreciates the fact that our learners are not empty containers waiting to be filled up with knowledge but that they are supposed to be regarded as co-creators of knowledge by involving them in the teaching and learning process. Since the introduction of new education system, small group teaching has been common. However, teachers’ training on how to facilitate small group teaching appears not to be sufficient to enable them to carry out their teaching. In order to carry out effective teaching and learning in a CAPS approach, it is important to facilitate small group teaching in an effective way. This desktop study will therefore suggest the best ways on how small group teaching can be applied. Practically the study will contribute to the smooth running of small group teaching in schools by suggesting different teaching strategies that can be utilized.
