1. 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 3
aptitude 4
motivation 1
I think that the most important thing when we are teaching is to motivate the students and try to teach them how to learn with a positive attitude. Of course all the others factors are important, but motivation is the key factor of all great results.

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 with this statement. I have noticed that every class is a mixed-abiblity group. The challenge of teachers is that all the students learn at the same level and speed.

I guess I agree with your order Montse, it's not so easy to do as they are all interrelated to some extent but motivation is clearly important .
See you soon,
Pieter
