This means activities can be planned to suit the full range of learners and maintain their interest and motivation, by considering their prior knowledge, current skills levels and preferred learning styles. Also discussion with the learners to identify what they want from a session helps to make it an inclusive learning environment by deciding on the session target and activities to include to reach the target....
