Activities and ideas for differentiation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Differentiation is adjusting and modifying what skills and concepts students learn, what materials they use, and/or how their learning is assessed based on the needs of the students.

Our students are not all the same, so we cannot expect that teaching a lesson in one way will reach every student. Our students are unique individuals with their own prior learning and their own learning preferences.

An effective teacher makes the changes needed to reach every student where they are and to guide them to an understanding of the skills and concepts we want them to learn.

Differentiation can take place at several points during a lesson:

Each of these can be further differentiated by student readiness (their academic level) and/or their personal interests and learning styles.

Not every lesson needs to be differentiated, and certainly not in all of the possible ways. When determining the most effect way to differentiate, consider the size of the class, the needs and personalities of the students, the range of skills, the availability of materials, time available and even time of day. The possibilities are endless!

The English Vocabulary Profile offers reliable information about which words (and importantly, which meanings of those words) and phrases are known and used by learners at each level of the Common European Framework (CEF).

The English Vocabulary Profile offers reliable information about which words (and importantly, which meanings of those words) and phrases are known and used by learners at each level of the Common European Framework (CEF).

Cambridge University Press is making the A1-C2 English Vocabulary Profile available free of charge to teachers and educationalists around the world. Go to EVP Online to access the resource.

Much more than a list of words!

The English Vocabulary Profile contains information about phrases, idioms and collocations as well as the words themselves. By leaving the text box blank and selecting one of the levels, you can generate lists of words for each level; but you can also filter these using the advanced search functions, to find out what 'food and drink' vocabulary A1 learners know, or which phrasal verbs are known at B2 level. There is a British and American English version, and there is audio pronunciation for all entries.

The EVP forms an invaluable reference source for anyone involved in syllabus design as well as materials writers, test developers, teachers and teacher trainers.

Please note that the Terms of Use for this resource do not allow other organisations to promote commercial materials as 'English Profile informed' or allow the use of the English Vocabulary Profile for commercial purposes.
