Abstract
This paper investigates the problem of addressing a class of mixed-ability students and the effect of solving this problem on improving the students’ performance in English Language at Sudan University of Science and Technology. The objectives of this study are to analyze, identify and assess this problem. The writer uses an interview addressed to (5 instructors of English language). The data were statistically analyzed by the researcher. The findings of the study indicate that instructors agree that classroom activities motivation and praising help students to be active and disciplined. Furthermore, they hold a positive attitude towards teaching a class that has students of different or blended abilities. The overall trend is that instructors generally feel positive about dealing with a class with students of different levels.
