Teachers develop tiered lessons to accommodate students at different proficiency levels. This document describes a tiered English lesson that teaches job interview skills. It provides three levels of difficulty - a regular level (X), and easier (X-2) and harder (X+2) level. At each level, students practice forming and answering job interview questions. The regular level scaffolds the questions, while the easier level completes templates and the harder level creates questions independently. Conducting mock interviews allows students to apply their new skills.
