How Do You Bridge the Gap Between English Proficiency and Local Dialects in Large Classes?

A discussion in Teaching English in Indonesia on the SpeakWise Indonesia teacher forum.

We've been thinking about the unique challenges of teaching English in our diverse classrooms across Indonesia. Many of us face the hurdle of students using their local dialects, which can interfere with English learning, especially in larger classes where individual attention is limited. How do you creatively address this challenge while also fulfilling curriculum demands? We invite you to share your experiences and strategies that have worked in your classroom.
