Purpose: <strong>to</strong> consider a<br />
wide range of learners in<br />

any way they want – it<br />
can be as a drawing or<br />

Video: ‘Differentiation in<br />
ESOL <strong>teaching</strong>’<br />
This video is taken from: Planning Learning <strong>and</strong> Recording Progress <strong>and</strong> Achievement: a<br />
Guide for Practitioners.<br />
This guide is available free from DfES publications: dfes@prolog.uk.com.<br />
Fax: 0845 6033360. You may order up <strong>to</strong> five copies per organisation.<br />
The outcomes from this project include the following.<br />
1. A video entitled ‘Differentiation in ESOL <strong>teaching</strong>’ This video was produced by the<br />
London Language <strong>and</strong> Literacy Unit. It is designed <strong>to</strong> be used in initial <strong>and</strong> inservice<br />
training <strong>and</strong> provides excellent examples of differentiation in two very<br />
different classes. It comes with notes, which include ideas for use of the video,<br />
copies of the session plans for each class <strong>and</strong> copies of the materials used. The<br />
video is available from DfES publications. Please quote reference PLRA V1.<br />
2. Ideas for in-service training on <strong>to</strong>pics relating <strong>to</strong> planning <strong>learning</strong> <strong>and</strong> recording<br />
progress <strong>and</strong> achievement. These resources can be downloaded from the<br />
‘readwriteplus’ website: www.dfes.gov.uk/readwriteplus. They are in Microsoft<br />
Word format <strong>to</strong> make it easier <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mise them <strong>to</strong> local requirements.<br />
3. A report of a research project on the use of individual <strong>learning</strong> plans (ILPs) in<br />
ESOL. This report summarises the findings of a project undertaken in summer<br />
2003 which investigated the ways in which a wide range of ESOL providers were<br />
using ILPs <strong>and</strong> the issues <strong>and</strong> questions their use raised.<br />
4. A report of a research project undertaken by South Tyneside College on the use of<br />
ILPs with learners with little or no English.<br />

Using the video ‘Differentiation in ESOL <strong>teaching</strong>’ for Activity 4.4.1<br />
Strategies used by the teacher on the video include:<br />
<br />
grouping learners, for example according <strong>to</strong> level of English, interest, or experience<br />
<br />
open-ended activities allowing learners <strong>to</strong> contribute what they can<br />
<br />
making use of learners’ other languages<br />
<br />
pair work (considering who <strong>and</strong> why learners are put <strong>to</strong>gether)<br />
<br />
activities catering for learners with different <strong>learning</strong> styles<br />
<br />
changing classroom layout according <strong>to</strong> the specific needs of particular groups<br />
<br />
the teacher working with groups who need more support<br />
<br />
encouraging individuals <strong>to</strong> contribute ideas<br />
<br />
simplifying materials for some learners<br />
<br />

Planning a <strong>differentiated</strong> lesson<br />
Stress that differentiation needs <strong>to</strong> be taken in<strong>to</strong> account at all stages of the <strong>teaching</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>learning</strong> process.<br />
1. Elicit <strong>and</strong> discuss general issues:<br />
assess learners, include outcomes of assessment in<strong>to</strong> the scheme of work, plan<br />
<strong>differentiated</strong> activities <strong>and</strong> materials, think about the management of the<br />
<strong>learning</strong>.<br />
2. Suggested stages of lesson planning:<br />
draw up group profile ➔<br />
initial assessment<br />
➔ ➔ ➔ ➔ ➔<br />
diagnostic assessment<br />
identifying individual <strong>learning</strong> styles<br />
ILP<br />
scheme of work<br />
lesson plan: activities, materials,<br />
classroom management <strong>and</strong> so on<br />
3. Emphasise the importance for teachers <strong>to</strong> know their groups well (both as a<br />
group <strong>and</strong> the individuals within it).<br />
