Challenges and Opportunities in Teaching English to Journalism Students

Abstract

This article is designed to review the literature revolving around the topic of the present research: EFL teachers' strategies to cope with pupils' mixed abilities. The first part provides definitions of mixed-ability classes. Following that, it explains Gardner's types of intelligence, which serve as a theoretical framework for the present study. The various problems of mixed-ability classes are then presented, followed by suggested solutions to overcome multilevel classes. The strategies used by teachers to cope with pupils' mixed abilities provide this research with clear outcomes regarding effective strategies to teach multilevel classes. Our investigation is limited to middle school, so further research on the same study can be conducted at the secondary school level.
