It provides differentiated learning activities and is packed with practical ideas... Recommended." * EL Gazette * "This book is a valuable resource for any teacher's professional development. It not only sees some positives in mixed-ability teaching and suggests strategies and differentiated tasks to help cope with the difficulties that arise, it also supports teachers looking for ways of developing learner autonomy. Although the activities provided in the book are primarily intended for primary and secondary school students, when they are creatively developed they can be easily transferred to other groups of students." * Modern English Teacher * "This is an excellent resource on teaching mixed-ability primary and secondary language classes... Although it is geared towards new teachers, it also offers fresh ideas for more experienced instructors who may be looking for new ways to teach." * ELT Journal *
