Summary/Abstract: Many students come from high schools where English has been approached more or less seriously (in some institutions English is not taught at all). Hence, their English proficiency varies from level A1 to level C1 or even C2 and since at every faculty studying a foreign language during at least two semesters is mandatory and most students opt for English, it is the instructor`s responsibility to find different ways so that each individual can benefit from language classes. Dealing with heterogeneous groups of learners can be a tough mission for every teacher—especially for an early teacher who, due to insufficient training sessions during the bachelor and master programs, can be put in a vulnerable position in the classroom. This article aims to present and offer possible solutions to some challenges that can be encountered during the first years of teaching.
