How to deal with problematic learners in mixed ability classes

Аннотация

Mixed ability classes with problematic learners are related to working with students who have various levels of language proficiency, behaviors, personalities, interests and errors. In teaching progress you can meet some students who really need teacher's help. Sometimes they have some misunderstandings with their behaviors, study or interests. Each student has the weakness, strength (which they cannot show) fear or aggressiveness .However, in mixed ability classes where some students will not even think about their future, life and career. Therefore, some students can choose their own way, and some cannot, but choosing the right way teachers will help to leaners to deal with them. Key words: Mixed-ability classes, a magic key, behaviors, challenging, motivation. There is one question "How to deal with challenging" Firstly, teachers are psychologists, because they know what to do when students have some problems, or even when you want to say something, but you do not know how to say, however, teachers by looking into your eyes will feel what you are planning or want to say, they know how to attack and solve each problem. For example, Carol Ann Tomlinson wrote in her book “The Differentiated classroom”, that responding to the Needs of learners, might be a little bit lazy in their study, therefore there is a magic key to open, however, only teachers know where to find this key, and how to open this door. Consequently, James Nugen wrote some solutions and gave some examples in his book "Managing the Most Difficult Students", to use a needs analysis to students who 69 stand out with their character, stylish, experience, or some students who do not have a main goal in her or his life. They do not know their main thing. For this reason, they need that a magic key and feeling free with full of goals, dreams and the biggest one they need motivation from someone. As an example, I can share with you one interesting story. It was five years ago, when I was in fifth grade. That time our process of studying at school was not so good, but I remember the day, which really helped us to become leaders. If I say the truth, once we did not have any teachers from English, for this reason, we had not even interest to English, however our director announced us that soon we will have a teacher from English subject, who has studied in England. Therefore, It was very interesting for me, but not for others, because as I said my classmates were not even interested in English. For the time when I saw our English teacher, she was very perfect and the most important side, which I really appreciated, is confidence and believe in herself. As I understood at that time, it was her style to be confident in every situation and motivate each student. The first lesson was very entertaining and informative. She tried to attract each student with her: knowledge, confidence, experience and helped us to believe ourselves. On the one hand, we had students who did not want to respond and follow the rules of her lesson. It was really horrible, because we did not want to miss our teacher and leave our brain without her lessons. We were really scared, because some of us said that she will not come again, and maybe she can leave her work. Fortunately, she came, and again her body was full of conviction. As we understood, she thought over a plan for our passive students who did not want to study and participate during the lesson. She prepared some games and the whole lessons ninety nine percent of her attention was to our passive students, and she made them participate and be active, she did a little bit presentation, during the presentation she stopped and gave some questions, and I did not even catch, why every seconds she paused the video and gave questions. Consequently, I wanted to ask questions about her work and it was really interesting for me, why in presentation she paused the video. I gave her questions (how did you do it , how you made them work with you, how did you take our hearts to love you?) she said a little, but very useful: 70 • experience: Your each step must be full with your experience and methods. • knowledge: If you have graduated university it does not mean that you are perfect in something, you need to practice a lot. • love for work: If you start working somewhere, or you are planning your future plans to work somewhere, the first thing that you need, to feel pleasure from this work, than your work will give you satisfaction. • conviction: If you feel steadiness and quietness, everyone will think that you are the expert one. • believe: You must believe in yourself, than everyone will start to believe in you. I also get some information about students’ character. It was also surprising, but if you follow the mentioned instructions, you can do it. Needs analysis: There is some challenging with students and with their behavior. • Some of them would not study. • Some of them would not participate during the lesson. • Some of them w
