How to teach mixed ability classes with a coursebook

Mixed ability classes have become the norm in ELT, and it seems that we, as teachers, must cope with a greater range of mixed abilities within the same class nowadays. In this workshop, we will explore ways and tips for coping with Mixed Ability Classes and look at various strategies for differentiating activities within a coursebook, referencing the Cambridge Own It! series.

Charles Stewart has been working in the ELT field since 2011, teaching ESL, speaking at various ELT conferences around the Czech Republic and writing and delivering teacher training in several countries around the world. Throughout his teaching career, Charles has been fortunate to teach all levels, both young learners and adults. However, over the last several years, his focus has been drawn more towards teaching young learners, both general English for Primary ages, and exam preparation classes for secondary students. Consequently, Charles is heavily involved in the Young Learners Department at the British Council in Prague, where he currently lives and works, and teaches Exam preparation at a local Czech Gymnasium (High School).
