Teaching English to a group of students with varying levels of proficiency can be challenging. Whether you’re in a physical classroom or teaching online, managing a mixed-ability group requires creativity, flexibility, and the right tools. In this blog post, we’ll explore effective strategies to address this common issue and how platforms like Cilingo can help you streamline the process.
“In a mixed-ability classroom, every student is on a unique learning journey. The teacher’s role is not to level the path but to light the way for each traveler.”

In any classroom, it’s common to find students with different levels of English proficiency. Some may be beginners struggling with basic vocabulary, while others might be more advanced and ready to tackle complex grammar or conversational skills. This diversity can lead to:
Advanced students may feel bored, while beginners might feel overwhelmed.
Some students may dominate discussions, while others remain silent.
Creating activities that cater to everyone’s needs can be time-consuming.
However, with the right approach, a mixed-ability class can become a dynamic and enriching environment for all students.
