Just one question I have. Please check this out
Hello, folks
as I'm working in English Academy, sometimes I communicate with English native teachers
so I really do not want to make a misunderstanding so here goes,
I have to say to my English native teacher , something like

"I'd like to put our students into a same sex or gender of a group."
or
"I'd like to match our students with same sex"
"I'd like to assign my students..."

Does it make sense? If so, which one should I pick?
I have young students who plan to epal to Austrailan students
and I'd like to match them with the same gender or sex.
I'm not sure what word I should choose and the sentence.
I really appreciate it if you could let me know it.

Answer

I would say: I'd like to put/assign our students into same sex (same gender) groups.

More informally: I'd like to match boys with boys and girls with girls.

I hope this helps

Answer

Sex and gender are synonyms, but sometimes in business situations we prefer to use "gender", without saying "sex".
Try these examples:

What do you think about dividing our students by gender?
Do you you think it would be a good idea to place our students into gender-specific classrooms?
Is there a possibility we could divide our students into a boys' group and a girls' group? (This is my favorite. Even if the students are adults, calling them "boys' group and girls' group" is acceptable and sounds lighthearted.

I will point out that questions are always more polite than statements.
