TEACHING ENGLISH TO STUDENTS OF
DIFFERENT LEVELS
One size doesn’t fit all. Nowhere is this more true than in the classroom. Your students
likely arrive with various prerequisites and initial English levels, they come from different
backgrounds and had varying degrees of exposure to English. Luckily, you can use various
strategies and exercises to teach speaking to students of different levels which can be
easily combined in heterogeneous classrooms.
Getting Beginners to speak is often not too difficult.
Beginners Simple exercises and repeating phrases and
dialogues are key. However, what if you want your
learners to produce English, not merely verbally fill in
the blanks or read out sentences from your textbook?
Focus on getting a message across. At this stage in
their learning, the vocabulary and grammar knowledge
of your students is still quite limited, but that doesn’t

verbal communication with a focus on
communicating and delivering a message, not
correctness. Let them make liberal use of visual aids.

teaching beginner students, the goal should be on getting a complexity of the material.

grammar and pronunciation. Help your students let go of the idea of
perfection.
Encourage your students to use varied vocabulary. Instead of
simple words like “good”, “bad”, or “very”, ensure that they challenge
themselves and use appropriate synonyms.
