 Encourage Different Student Responses
Teachers should embrace the fact that students will respond
differently, even to the same materials and tasks. By using
flexible activities that leverage these differences, teachers can
create more engaging and inclusive lessons, particularly in
mixed-ability classes. For example, asking students to write
statements using certain words allows advanced students to
aim high while providing meaningful tasks for less proficient
ones.

 Identify Student Strengths
Rather than focusing solely on language skills,
teachers can design tasks that allow students to
showcase their unique talents and intelligences, such
as artistic, scientific or musical abilities. This approach
not only recognizes students' strengths, but also
boosts their confidence and motivation, even if their
language proficiency is not the strongest.
3
 Adapting to Learning Contexts
English is taught in a wide variety of settings, from
traditional classrooms to virtual environments. Each
context has its own dynamics that teachers must
navigate effectively. Understanding the pros and cons of
different learning environments allows teachers to
maximize the advantages and mitigate the challenges of
each.
4
 Managing Class Size
Class sizes can range greatly, from one-on-one to
over 100 students. Techniques like pair/group
work, individual activities, and student helpers are
crucial in large classes. Teachers must also adjust
pacing and find ways to provide individualized
attention, even in large groups.
5
 One-on-One Teaching
Private lessons allow for highly personalized
instruction, as teachers can fully tailor content
and pace to the individual student's needs and
learning style. However, the intense dynamic
requires strong rapport, flexibility, and clear
guidelines from the teacher to address potential
challenges.
6
 Differentiated Content
When teachers can't provide different materials, they can give
students varying tasks and roles. For example, with a reading,
one group interprets graphically, another answers open-ended
questions, and the group needing support does multiple-choice.
Teachers can also assign different roles within activities, like
providing questions for some students but having others
respond independently. This targeted approach caters to
diverse needs without fully differentiating materials
7
 Using Whole Class Dynamics
In large classes, teachers can utilize the group size for engaging
activities and performances, fostering a positive class dynamic.
Establishing routines, considering logistics like vision and
acoustics, and organizing collective performances can enhance
the learning experience and streamline classroom management.
Ensuring clear visibility and sound for all students promotes an
inclusive learning environment conducive to effective teaching
and student engagement.
8
 Balancing Challenges and Benefits
Large classes present challenges like individual attention and
logistics management, but they also offer advantages. The
group size enhances humor, drama, and class dynamics.
Teachers can use collective activities to engage students
effectively. With the right strategies, large classes can be
turned into successful learning experiences that connect and
inspire diverse student groups.
