We investigate the relation between peer group composition and language
improvement in language classes for adults. Using unique survey
data of migrants participating in an intensive language course in Germany,
we find that the age and skill composition of groups is related to differences
in skill acquisition as assessed by the teacher. Moreover, groups
that are more heterogenuous in terms of regions of origin on average obtain
improvements in language skills with a higher probability.
