SueAnnan 2018-01-17T19:02:32 Hello #ELTchattersI'm teaching a class of mixed ability and Nationality at the moment. It's kind of fun #ELTchat
jonjoTESOL 2018-01-17T19:02:39 @Marisa_C me! #eltchat
teacherphili 2018-01-17T19:03:09 I'm also teaching a mixed nationality and mixed ability class at the moment. Just started actually #eltchat
Marisa_C 2018-01-17T19:03:29 @teacherphili @jonjoTESOL Great! Welcome to both #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T19:03:38 Hi #Eltchat. (Why am I always up at 3am?) I'm interested in differentiation, it faces our teachers often
SueAnnan 2018-01-17T19:04:05 @teacherphili It's always an interesting challenge, but where do you pitch your lessons? #ELtchat
teacherphili 2018-01-17T19:04:28 I remember an American colleague who lost her job based on not offering enough #differentiation in her lessons #eltchat

SueAnnan 2018-01-17T19:05:34 I use the students if possible. Get them to do some of the teaching. It helps if they don't all speak the same language. #ELtchat

jonjoTESOL 2018-01-17T19:05:59 My school puts Ss of same level together, however many Ss are in levels they don't belong (usually because of a bad placement test) #eltchat

jonjoTESOL 2018-01-17T19:08:54 Although not ELT related, I think primary schools in the UK are considering/returning to a mixed ability class for science/maths #eltchat
teacherphili 2018-01-17T19:09:06 @MoreMsJackson @SueAnnan yes that's good. peer - everything #eltchat #differentiation
SueAnnan 2018-01-17T19:09:41 @teacherphili @MoreMsJackson especially in an ELT class. More language is produced #ELtchat
MoreMsJackson 2018-01-17T19:09:59 @SueAnnan Interesting. Could you give an example of Demand High for mixed groups? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2018-01-17T19:10:00 @teacherphili @MoreMsJackson @SueAnnan I think peer everything chews up a lot of valuable class time - there needs to be a balance #Eltchat
teacherphili 2018-01-17T19:10:03 I have a very motivated class right now, but i'm only 2 lessons in.. it's a 20 week course #eltchat #differentiation
GlenysHanson 2018-01-17T19:10:55 All my classes were mixed level and ability. Except for 121 how can it be otherwise? #ELtchat

SueAnnan 2018-01-17T19:11:32 I think lots of classes have a spiky profile when it comes to the skills they manage #ELtchat
SueAnnan 2018-01-17T19:12:41 @teacherphili Yes. My most talkative student is the weakest, and the most able is a quiet mouse #ELtchat
teacherphili 2018-01-17T19:13:02 @SueAnnan 'Empty vessels make most noise' #eltchat #differentiation
Marisa_C 2018-01-17T19:13:06 Abslutely - for me it's the norm #eltchat - lots of CB or other exercises can be distributed or shared out #eltcat https://t.co/FMA4iY0zLb

naomishema 2018-01-17T19:24:45 Surprisingly, games r a way to let weak learners participate equally - same game, different task, or weak learner plays teacher. #eltchat
SueAnnan 2018-01-17T19:24:50 @Marisa_C @jonjoTESOL I'm definitely with you on that one. When the boss is in the class, and HE is less able than his team!!!!! #ELtchat

GlenysHanson 2018-01-17T19:26:34 @Marisa_C @jonjoTESOL So you're say the problem is not really the different levels, but the circs, the company ethos. #ELtchat

MoreMsJackson 2018-01-17T20:05:45 @GlenysHanson @SophiaKhan4 @Marisa_C "feedback" is a very broad topic though #ELTchat
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:06:28 @Marisa_C @SophiaKhan4 I'll look it up #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:07:25 @leoselivan @Marisa_C Maybe because hearing it isn't the same as knowing its meaning? And processing it when litera… https://t.co/74X4DK8ovN
GlenysHanson 2018-01-17T20:07:56 @MoreMsJackson @SophiaKhan4 @Marisa_C Yes, Elizabeth, l different people mean different things by "feedback". Be in… https://t.co/6uekcQyjMf

Marisa_C 2018-01-17T20:12:01 Will keep an eye on this good discussion #eltchat night for now everyone #Eltchat
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:12:10 @SophiaKhan4 @Marisa_C yes that's what I think - processing when just learnt isn't easy. Especially maybe if we pre… https://t.co/AlIfWzjax2

SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:15:08 @leoselivan @Marisa_C Thanks! What does 'repetition of input' mean? Does #2 mean repeating #1 (background info?) Bu… https://t.co/h8nNdJFmGl
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:17:04 well the study has been cited many times - so quite authoritative, I'd say #eltchat and only 1 group receive vocab… https://t.co/K6c9x28YRJ
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:17:51 @SophiaKhan4 @Marisa_C just playing the recording again - very effective, IMO. The other day Ss themselves told me… https://t.co/HzenUUBW3R
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:18:07 @Marisa_C @leoselivan It's interesting though as a) many Ts think decontextualised vocab teaching is 'what you do'… https://t.co/hiXiHmpyMW
Marisa_C 2018-01-17T20:18:51 @leoselivan Let's set up our own more authoritative study :-D - too many factors changed in each group for me to co… https://t.co/ex66GADNxq
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:19:36 @leoselivan @Marisa_C Oh! The listening input! Doh. Thanks, yes I see #ELtchat
Marisa_C 2018-01-17T20:19:41 @leoselivan @SophiaKhan4 this is very true - our students say same - #Eltchat
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:19:55 @SophiaKhan4 @Marisa_C it all depends on the aims really. Is it vocab that is essential to understanding the text ?… https://t.co/07uV28Owgc
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:20:37 @Marisa_C a replication? by all means. I'm in. #eltchat

leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:22:29 @SophiaKhan4 @Marisa_C yes but you can see it as teaching vs testing, or in this case, teaching vs real life :) so… https://t.co/aQsnlz82Yw
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:22:36 @leoselivan But I bet key vocab came into activating background knowledge...#ELtchat
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:23:49 @leoselivan @Marisa_C But do you count that as context/background knowledge or vocab? #ELtchat
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:24:12 @SophiaKhan4 yes, but that's the thing. They did background knowledge (#1) in L1 !! First, I was like 'What'? But a… https://t.co/jfWfJheI50
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:25:04 @leoselivan @Marisa_C Again depends how you use it. Replaying audio to nth degree not useful for 99% of class. But… https://t.co/RYJmYp8Wqc
Marisa_C 2018-01-17T20:25:09 Lovely post on teaching refugee children by @efitzouri https://t.co/h57DuQ3fQL #eltchat #edchatie
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:25:39 @SophiaKhan4 @Marisa_C In the case of "astronaut" it's vocab, but yes the two often overlap  #eltchat
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:26:09 @leoselivan Oh...interesting! It is priming though, no? #ELtchat
Marisa_C 2018-01-17T20:26:55 An appropriate Blip for Mixed level teaching :-) Dedicated to all #eltchat folk ♫ https://t.co/Vnu2gFkBH3
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:28:24 @SophiaKhan4 I suppose so but that's what listening is all about isn't it? When you're at an airport listening to a… https://t.co/GtqoXGkaO9
leoselivan 2018-01-17T20:28:51 @SophiaKhan4 we're slow burning big time today! #eltchat cc @SueAnnan
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:31:59 @leoselivan @Marisa_C Yes...but not always. Bugs me how many books/teachers go decontextualised. #ELtchat
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:32:55 @leoselivan Yes, I'm not disagreeing. Just objecting to decontextualised pre-teaching #ELtchat
SophiaKhan4 2018-01-17T20:33:37 @leoselivan @SueAnnan I'd better go to bed. My sleep habits are rubbish. Thanks all for the #ELtchat  :)
Marisa_C 2018-01-17T20:34:04 @SophiaKhan4 @leoselivan Lack of context is the norm - half understood or not at all by most people who use the term #eltchat
