The present work deals with the impact of class size on students' performance in English.  It was carried out in selected secondary schools of Nyanza-Lac commune especially fourth form classes as population for study.  This topic was chosen in order to investigate if class size affects students' performance.  That is this study shoved whether the number of students in a class is a factor in the performance of English or not.  In carrying out this work, the researcher wanted to know whether there is a relationship between class size and learners' results and how class size affects classroom activities, especially performance assessment which improves learners' results.  In order to get the required data, the researcher used questionnaires administered to teachers and students and he also used annual classroom results.  The work found out through teachers' questionnaire and animal classroom results that students in a small class perform better than those of a large class.  It also chows through both teachers and students' questionnaire that a large class is a problem to classroom activities.  This was found out when performance assessment ot all students was impossible in a crowded class.  It was also found out that this classroom activity improves learners' results
