Abstract

ELT classes in the schools of Nepal greatly vary in terms of number of the students in classroom. Large classes become multilevel and can have both challenges and opportunities for English language teachers. Therefore, this paper aims at exploring the challenges and opportunities of teaching English in large multilevel classes. Selecting five classes from five different schools in Pokhara city purposively, I observed ELT classes and interviewed the English language teachers to collect information. It has been found that teaching English in large multilevel classes is challenging though it has brought opportunities for English teachers. Engaging students in the lessons, correcting huge amounts of written work, evaluating students and keeping their records, paying equal attention to all the students and getting the quiet students active are the challenges. However, having enough students for interaction and collecting new experiences from the large classes to develop professional competence are opportunities for English teachers.

多层次课堂英语教学:挑战与机遇
尼泊尔学校的英语教学课程在课堂上的学生人数方面差异很大。大班授课是多层次的,这对英语教师来说既是挑战也是机遇。因此,本文旨在探讨多层次大课堂英语教学面临的挑战和机遇。我有目的地从博卡拉市的五所不同的学校中选择了五个班级,观察了英语课堂,并采访了英语教师来收集信息。研究发现,大课堂英语教学虽然给英语教师带来了机遇,但也充满了挑战。让学生参与课堂,批改大量的书面作业,评估学生并保存他们的记录,对所有学生给予同等的关注,让安静的学生活跃起来,这些都是挑战。然而,有足够的学生进行互动,从大班中收集新的经验来发展专业能力是英语教师的机会。
