A lot of ESL/ELL teachers work with students in mixed proficiency level classes. It is a challenging task, and we always wonder if we are doing the right thing, if we are using the right strategy or the right scaffold. 

In this episode, I share a bit about how I structure my mixed-level class, and the activities and resources you can use in yours as well. 

Here is what you will hear:

• We will talk about the challenges of teaching mixed proficiency level classes
• We will touch upon one of the main advantages of teaching this type of class
• How to assess your students needs
• How to plan for teaching mixed-proficiency level classes
• How to group your students
• I will share some resource ideas with you
