Team instead of group at the lesson

[englishhobby]

Can a teacher say "Work in teams of three or four" instead of "Work in groups of three or four"?

 

[Tdol]

It would be possible, but group is the term generally used. Is it a competitive activity?

 

[englishhobby]

No.

 

[bhaisahab]

Is it collaborative?

 

[MikeNewYork]

They are equivalent for me.

 

[englishhobby]

Is it collaborative?

Yes.

 

[bhaisahab]

Yes.

In that case either would work. I'd probably use "teams".
