Use short and simple sentences when communicating in class. Communication can be improved by avoiding figures of speech and idiomatic language. Instead, use standard English and provide clear instructions to learners. Reinforce oral langage by modeling and using body language. For group work, a peer support system can be
implemented. With group activities, use a peer support system that allows the option of learners reading aloud and supports the teacher’s acceptance of standards set within the group.

Encourage the cultural inclusion of learning activities by integrating Indigenous or minority group traditions with class lesson learning. This can be done by using appropriate curricula and own-style questioning. It could be advantageous to keep in mind support strategies that can be used  to assist  learners.

            Encourage increased responsiveness from shy learners. Shy learners may feel comfortable to be seated with either friends or learners in class with whom they get along well.

Provide new challenges to gifted learners and this can be achieved through task extensions. In the long term, gifted learners can be offered an expert helper role. Also, try to minimize teaching things that they already know. Encourage these learners to join after-school interest groups. Additionally, include peer & cluster group activities for them to join.
