My aim in the study is to investigate the performance of the mixed ability class and the difficulties encountered by the teachers and the students while teaching and learning spoken English in such a class. Through interviews, the input of the experienced teachers is investigated. The students are also approached through a questionnaire to find out their responses. The researcher interviewed eight teachers involved in teaching spoken English classes at various institutions in Multan. The possible solutions of the difficulties is also the aim of this study and to do this, the researcher thoroughly investigated teachers' perceptions on how they meet learners' needs in a mixed ability context. The findings show that eclectic approach is the best way to meet learners' needs and it is necessary to use extra material for both good and not so good students. There are good students, average students, and low performers in a mixed ability class and it is difficult to teach three different levels at the same time. The interviewees highlighted the importance of different material and the need to individualize as much as possible. In-class observations were also made to observe the teaching methodology and the material used. There is a variety of strategies that can be put into practice in order to meet all learners' needs. A pedagogical model has been proposed but unfortunately, no "magic method" guarantees all learners' development and success with regard to learning spoken English. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
