Differentiation

Macmillan Education aims to help teachers create truly inclusive classes where every student, regardless of their ability level, receives the support they need to reach their potential.

For example, if you are using New Inspiration, you can download our Level C tracker to help adapt the difficulty level, or download our extended reading texts to make your reading lessons more challenging for stronger students.

For more tips on teaching mixed ability classes, read Tim Bowen's article on Classroom Management.

As part of our supplementary offering, we also have Graded Readers to suit all levels. If you're not sure what to recommend, ask your students to take the Level Test on the Macmillan Readers website to find out what their reading level is.

CLIL

CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning: teaching subjects such as science, history and geography to students through a foreign language. This might be introduced by the English teacher using cross-curricular content or by the subject teacher using English as the language of instruction. Both methods result in the simultaneous learning of content and English.

Macmillan Education has special CLIL resources to use alongside many of our courses, including New Inspiration. In addition, our dedicated CLIL section within our community and resource website onestopenglish has a bank of over 1,300 resources to cover primary and secondary teaching across the curriculum. They cover a range of topics including science, geography, history and mathematics.
