How to Challenge Advanced Students in a Multilingual Classroom?

Keeping the challenge high while supporting varied language backgrounds

1 December 2026

13:00–13:30 CET

Online · recording included

International school classrooms bring together students with varied language backgrounds, often learning through a language that is not their first. How can teachers maintain a high level of challenge for advanced learners while making sure language demands don’t get in the way of showing their thinking?

In this practical online workshop, we’ll explore ways to adapt learning tasks, extend thinking and provide language support while keeping the intellectual challenge high.

Participants will take away strategies they can use across subjects and within international curricula.

What we’ll explore

Who it's for
Teachers, SEN and gifted coordinators, school leaders, tutors and parents who want practical tools to boost motivation and reduce underachievement.

Understanding Giftedness
Why Inclusion Must Also Mean Gifted Learners
Gifted education is inclusion. In international schools, mobility, language and culture can hide high potential, leading to under-challenge, frustration and disengagement. This session cuts through the myths and shares simple, scalable supports: whole-class moves, targeted extensions and individual plans.
Who it's for
Teachers, SEN and gifted coordinators, school leaders, tutors and parents who want to understand gifted students better.
