My Class students

I have noticed that the students’ English level varies a lot in each class at my school. At first, it was difficult to engage all the students, but later I was able to manage this situation by grouping the students according to their English levels. When the students are placed in a group they work as a team, so the advanced students make sure the lower level students are not falling behind. This also encourages the students to focus in class. Using various materials and resources such as the digital textbook, PowerPoint, and online materials allows me to run the class smoothly. I have thought that the Korean students are very competitive, so I try to include lots of games and activities in my lessons. When teaching the English subject, I believe it would greatly benefit the students by dividing them into proficiency levels instead of grade levels. For example, the students can be divided into beginning, intermediate, and advanced level according to their English speaking abilities.

Sincerely
Choi

  1. Hi Choi.

    Excellent job Choi.
    I like the idea of working in class and mixing the students in groups because we can select students with poor level of the language and mix them with the higher level students . That is an activity that works and interacts well for me.

  2. Dear Choi! I like the idea to work with the students by their different level. It is much easier to work with them and to achieve better result! I am wondering, why in elementaryschool you have students with different level of knowledge? Did they completed the program in kindergarden with the same level or what is the reason? Is it about their level of intelligence?(some of them can speak and write better,others do not) What will be at the end of theyaer? Will you try in all three groups in order to achive the same goals for everybody? Will all the elementary students know the program at the same level at the end of the program? With the best,Natalia
