Implementing ability grouping in EFL contexts : Perceptions of teachers and students

http://ltr.sagepub.com/content/16/3/289.abstract

My topic

Every elementary schools should not give lessons with ability grouping.

What I hope to learn from this source

I want to figure out about the background why and how Korean schools start to implement ability grouping.

Notes

1. In Korea, ability grouping has been implemented in elementary, middle, and high school settings for certain subjects such as English.

2. schools implemented the policy in a variety of ways

3. Teachers and students indicated their concerns regarding students’ emotional problems and showed mixed attitudes towards ability grouping. 4.schools need large support to maximize the putative effectiveness of ability grouping in different areas such as curriculum design, materials development, and teacher training.

Final thoughts

This research can support my narration. It can show why Korean schools start to implement ability grouping. Also it shows the negative arguments of ability grouping of Korean students and teachers.
