Many teachers, especially those in rural settings, are faced with the challenge of teaching a class where the students exhibit a variety of English language skill levels.  This course will present ideas on how to incorporate activities for a multi-level setting.  Rather than planning several activities for a range of proficiency levels, this course aims to demonstrate how one activity can be adapted for use with all students, regardless of the extent of their English competencies.

Agenda:

  1. What Does a Multi-level Class Look Like?
  2. Pair work:  Equal Ability, Mixed Ability and Examples
  3. Group work:  Equal Ability, Mixed Ability and Examples
  4. Whole Class Activities
