English language learning is so multi-faceted that
experts describe a “heterogeneous language class” as a class with more than one student. Ability,
needs, background, age, and psychological make-up are just some of the variables among learners.
Preparing different tasks for students at different levels is not always
feasible, but learning questioning techniques and providing open-ended tasks
will allow more students to become actively involved in the class. In this
session the presenter will demonstrate 10 ways that teachers can include
multi-level learners simultaneously in a communicative grammar class. This
interactive session will allow teachers to implement these techniques
immediately. Irene E.
