Teaching such a class presents several challengesthat, if teachers do not foresee, may make teaching really difficult.In this article, I will talk about the challenges faced by teachers ina multilevel class in order to help students develop their oral abilities in such classes. The objectives and the research questions of the investigation will be presented, as well as a description of thepopulation and the instruments chosen for this research. In addition, the literature review including some definitions of what amultilevel class is and the challenges found by several authors aswell as a summary of the results is also mentioned.
