Workshop: “Strategies to adjust classroom language and engage mixed-ability
classes”
Giulia d’Amaro Valle

We’ve all been there: we have to start a CLIL module in a class where some
students are more advanced than others and a few struggle greatly. But how can
we teach effective Content and Language to a group of students that have
different levels of English? Is it possible to teach multiple levels at the
same time? As teachers, we can indeed adjust our language to cater to all
learners, to challenge advanced students on one hand and on the other make
struggling students feel supported as they develop confidence in the target
language. From how we communicate with students to how we give instructions in
our learning materials, from our choice of words when designing and presenting
tasks both in written and spoken language to how we present subject-related
content, language adjustments and Teacher Language Awareness are key elements
of the CLIL teacher professionalism. 

The aim of this workshop is to investigate different strategies to teach
different levels of ESL students in the same class, within CLIL environments. 

Keywords: CLIL Teaching in mixed-ability classes
