2024 Iowa Adult Education & Literacy Conference

In every multilevel classroom, teachers encounter a variety of diverse learning scenarios. This is a reminder that teaching is not just about imparting knowledge, but also about inspiring and recognizing the individual learning paths of students. By leveraging various strategies and best practices, teachers can foster an inclusive learning environment that encourages student engagement, motivation, and learner autonomy, empowering students to take active roles in their language acquisition journey. In this session, we will explore classroom activities from Burlington English to illustrate how educators can tailor their teaching to support all learners, regardless of their proficiency level, goals, backgrounds, and skills, thereby enhancing the overall learning experience in multilevel adult ESL classrooms. This session is inclusive of all classroom environments, including corrections.
