TEACHING MIXED-ABILITY CLASSES FACTORS CHALLENGES AND ADVANTAGES
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to find out how upper secondary English teachers should work in order to reach the weaker students. I am interested in what has been written about mixed-ability classes, the challenges they present and most of all how teachers of English need to work in such classes to reach all students, especially the weaker ones.
