  Case: Teaching Different Levels of ESOL
I am currently interning inside an ESOL classroom and there are so many students at different levels. The teacher is struggling to teach so many at once. I feel sorry for her because she has to work so hard and the students are everywhere on their levels. What would you recommend for her as a teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In this situation, I think breaking the students into groups based on their levels will help. The teacher doesn't have to do this in a way that makes it obvious, like sitting the students together or literally grouping them together, but while giving instruction making sure that she includes a way to reach all levels of students. For instance, for the students in the preproduction level as she is giving instruction make sure she uses simplified language. For the early production phase, she can role play when giving instruction, and to make sure they understand the directions being giving ask questions that warrant yes or no responses. For students in the speech emergence stage, the teacher can have the student work with other students in the classroom in small groups, use social interactions and songs or chants when teaching a new skill or concept. For the students in the intermediate fluency stage, use more reading and writing activities, as this stage has really picked up English more than prior stages.
