57. Lower-level learners Lower-level LEARNERS WILL BE ABLE TO… Higher-level Mid-Level Low-Level: Identify jobs in the community Mid-Level: Inquire about job opportunities in the community (and request a job application) HL: “Sell” themselves to a potential employer in a face-to-face meeting

66. Listening Tasks Lower-level: starting/ending details, dates, names, numbers, etc. Mid-level: general details throughout the passage Higher-level: summarize, make inferences Leveling Strategies And then he said… What? What?!!
67. Speaking Tasks: from Q&A to conversation • Add visual support to mixers to help lower-level learners participate • Look for pattern dialogs that… … lend themselves to editing … can be the launching point for a roleplay Leveling Strategies

105. What Teachers Need to be able to do MEASURE PROGRESS In order to MEASURE PROGRESS • use assessment tools that require minimal development • encourage Ss to self-evaluate and evaluate each other’s work.
106. in order to DOCUMENT GAINS • be familiar with NRS levels • be able to match Ss to appropriate measure What Teachers Need to be able to do
107. • use a variety of ongoing measures • match Ss with appropriate measure PROMOTE In order to PROMOTE LEARNERS What Teachers Need to be able to do

Let’s look at some key organizing skills a multilevel teacher may want to focus on…
What are the themes that you see here? When you select a theme that is high interest, often Ss with less ability become very engaged with the topic and risk using their language skills more.
