What are the intensive and extensive classes ?

What are the intensive and extensive classes ?
I don't think so. I have not actually encountered the expressions in over forty years of teaching spread across nine countries. 'Intensive courses' are those that try to make maximum progress in minimum time; they usually involve several hours of learning every day rather than the standard couple of hours once or twice a week.'Intensive' classes would be 'vigorous' or 'thorough' classes.
While 'Extensive' classes would include 'vast' or 'in depth' knowledge related to the learning outcome.
Not necessarily.If we consider that in an academic or business situation, Can we say in intensive courses the learners devote their time in only one subject e. g. English
We don't know. As I said before, I have not heard of an extensive course. Can you give us the paragraph in which it is mentioned?but in extensive courses they study e.g English together with other subjects?
Well, there are several basic errors in that, so I don't have any confidence in it as something we can use to claim that any lexis or grammar is natural English. Where did you find it?During an intensive ESP course the learners’ time totally committed to that ESP course. In contrast, an
extensive ESP course occupies only small part of a student’s timetable or a professional person’s work schedule.
ESP course, both EOP and EAP, are frequently intensive. Companies send their managers, secretaries or technicians on short intensive courses in the expectation that an exclusive concentration on certain skills for the period of the course will enhance their perfomance in activities that require English. English intensive EAP pre-study courses are very common in English-medium situations before subject courses.

I have no clear idea of what this sentence is supposed to mean:you mean in an extensive course one studies a course in a longer period of time. Am I right?
