Mixed-ability classes
Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2016 6:13 pm1. What factors do you consider important in causing mixed ability? Put these in order of importance for you:
previous exposure 6
attitude 2
learning style 5
personality 4
aptitude 1
motivation 3
3. "Every group is a mixed-ability group." Do you agree with this? What are the implications of this statement for teachers?
I agree completely, because every learner has his/her learning rythm and his/her own skills. Not to talk about ESO classes, where we have a wide variety of levels, I have a kid who only speaks Arabic and another which has a c1level, both in the same class.
It's a challenge.
