Description

Teaching English in the 21st Century requires a strong foundation in digital skills. Many ELT teachers have amassed a vast toolbox of digital tools to support their classes. As educational technology experts like Frederik deHaan reminds us, "The best technology is the teacher." this means that the best teacher knows the best tool to use to support their work. This session aims to share practical experience with all participants on differentiating lessons to cater to the needs of mixed-level classrooms in the ELT context. Dffit will be used as a demonstration tool, and participants will have a chance to share their experiences of using the tool to adapt it to their classrooms. By the end of the session, participants will gain valuable insights to improve their lessons for mixed-level classrooms, and learn strategies to support slower learners. The speaker will also share experiences using Dffit to support a mixed-level class in Cambodia, providing participants with a unique perspective on student needs in Cambodia to compare to their own classrooms.
