Communicative Grammar for Multi-Level English Language Learners

[ELTWeekly Volume 6, Issue 10 | March 31, 2014 | ISSN 0975-3036]

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.
