, Introductions (Hello, nice to meet you!)
– Beginner,
Language for debating (I understand what you are saying, but...).
– Proficiency,
The present perfect tense (I have lived in London since I was ten)
– Pre-intermediate,
The 3rd Condition (It would have been quicker if we had taken a taxi to the park instead of
walking).
– Upper-intermediate
Introductions (Hello, nice to meet you!) - Beginner - Greetings and social niceties would be the first
thing to teach a beginner.
The Present Perfect Tense (I have lived in London since I was ten) - Pre-intermediate - It is
important to teach this grammatical structure to fairly low level students as the present perfect
tense is used frequently in English and the structure is fairly simple.
The 3rd Condition (It would have been quicker if we had taken a taxi to the park instead of
walking) - Upper-Intermediate -This conditional tense has a much more complicated structure so
would usually be taught at Upper-Intermediate level.
Language for debating (I understand what you are saying, but...). - Proficiency - Debating skills
involve being able to listen and respond quickly and effectively to a variety of topics. Students
would be able to perform better if they have near-native language ability.
The correct answer is:
Schools usually form mixed level classes as it is good for business.
– False,
Never use the same material with mixed level students.
– False,
Ignoring the problem usually means the class will eventually balance out and everyone will be at
the same level.
– False,
Mixed level classes are classes where students are of different heights.
– False,
Using different level materials with a mixed level class can be useful.
