Description
Multi-level classrooms where students differ in both grade levels and English proficiency are a common challenge, especially in private centers or tutoring settings. This presentation shares a practical, tech-integrated model for multi-level English recovery, designed to help teachers simultaneously rebuild foundational skills for diverse groups of students. The model is grounded in differentiated instruction theory (Tomlinson, 2001) and personalized EdTech-supported learning (Means et al., 2014). Using scaffolded review tasks, micro-assessments, and personalized learning paths, teachers can effectively coordinate instruction and reduce pressure when managing mixed-ability groups. Classroom data from 60 students aged 8–14, all of whom had significant learning gaps, demonstrates substantial improvement across four English skills after 3–5 months. Participants will explore strategies for multi-level class management, task assignment using digital tools, and a replicable teaching model developed and applied in Vietnam.
