Reviews
- "This is a very useful book which deals thoroughly with all aspects of the challenges of teaching mixed-ability classes and provides a huge variety of strategies and techniques that teachers can use to maximise the potential of all their students."
- English Teaching Professional - "The book shows how collaborative ways of working can promote a positive classroom atmosphere. It provides differentiated learning activities and is packed with
practical ideas...
Recommended."
- EL Gazette - "This book is a valuable resource for any teacher's professional development. It not only sees some positives in mixed-ability teaching and suggests strategies and differentiated tasks to help cope with the difficulties that arise, it also supports teachers looking for ways of developing learner autonomy. Although the activities provided in the book are primarily intended for primary and secondary school students, when they are creatively
developed they can be
easily transferred to other groups of students."
- Modern English Teacher - "This is an excellent resource on teaching mixed-ability primary and secondary language classes... Although it is geared towards new teachers, it also offers fresh ideas for more experienced instructors who may be looking for new ways to teach."
