Description
This study explores effective pedagogical strategies for engaging mixed-ability English learners in Japanese universities. Collaborative tasks and peer learning proved most effective, while differentiated instruction, tiered assignments, and culturally relevant materials enhanced engagement. Structured group work supported weaker students, and multimodal approaches improved comprehension and confidence. Findings highlight the need for flexible, inclusive strategies to optimize learning in diverse classrooms.
