Abstract

The research project analyses the communicative processes that students of ages ranging from 15 to 47, that are part of a mixed-age class, experience as part of their learning process. Also, the work investigates the communicative strategies that the students employ in order to enhance the oral skills of the A2 level students. This work analyzes aspects such as the role of the mixed-age class composition and its effect on the development of the class, the relationship between the implementation of the oral communication strategies and peer interaction, and the effect of oral communication strategies as a possible enhancer of the class participation process. As well, it provides an overview of the class dynamics and offers an integrative strategy that teachers and students can implement in class to improve group/peer interaction and oral production.
