Q144

A teacher in a language task makes a mixed ability group of students. This mixed ability group is made to :

  1. (1) give space to dominate students to express freely.
  2. (2) encourage students to help one another.Correct answer
  3. (3) share teacher’s load, as the teacher cannot give attention to all.
  4. (4) identify weaker students.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (2)

Answer: (2) encourage students to help one another.

  1. In a mixed ability group, learners at different levels work together.
  2. Stronger learners support others, and everyone learns through talking and sharing.
  3. This is peer learning, which builds cooperation and confidence.

Trap: (4) grouping is not done to label weaker students, and (1) letting some students dominate defeats the purpose.
