Many teachers in EFL settings are faced with the challenge of dealing with large classes of students with mixed abilities. In such settings, it can be difficult to maintain learner motivation and engagement. This session is aimed at helping teachers adapt their materials for use in these settings, whether they are teaching young learners, teens, or older students. The presentation will explore techniques for conducting activities in classes of mixed ability students, including pacing, personalizing activities, and grouping learners. The techniques will address ways to simplify tasks as well as to make activities more challenging.
