| dc.description.abstract | The essence of the present study is to shed light on students’ involvement in the mixed ability class according to EFL teachers and students. The aim behind this research is to fulfill two major objectives. First of all, it seeks to determine the role of EFL teachers for helping learners engage heterogeneously. Secondly, it aims to explore the most challenges and difficulties that EFL teachers encounter when involving their students in the mixed-ability class of Chahid 16 secondary school at Bordj Bou Arreridj. To reach these purposes, our work relies on Ainslie (1994) mixed-ability teaching and Astin (1984) student’ involvement (a development theory for higher education) as theoretical frameworks. Furthermore, we have adopted a mixed method research in order to accomplish our aims. Indeed, two data collection tools are used: a questionnaire addressed to thirty-five first year students in the secondary school of Chahid 16 at BBA, and an interview conducted with six EFL teachers. Concerning the data analysis, we have depended on descriptive statistical analysis for the quantative data and qualitative content analysis for the qualitative one . The findings of the current research reveals that both of EFL teachers and students of Chahid 16 secondary school at BBA believe in the fact that learners’ involvement is an indispensible process within mixed-ability class in order to use the English language effectively. Moreover, the analysis of the results demonstrates that the teachers of the English language have an efficient role for helping learners with various levels to overcome all the obstacles they face during their engagement. | en |
