Teaching Heterogeneous Classes
Penny Ur
Oranim School of Education, Haifa University, Israel
 

Heterogeneous classes are more complex entities than is implied by the commonly-used terms 'mixed-ability' or 'multi-level'.  They are composed of people who differ from one another not only in proficiency but also in personality, interests, learning styles etc.  The teaching of such classes in such a way as to provide for optimal learning for all is a difficult - but stimulating - challenge for the teacher. We will discuss some teaching principles which can help solve some of the problems, illustrated by practical examples of teaching procedures and activities.
