This latter is considered as an essential part since it accomplishes all what goes on in the classroom; for instance, preparing the classroom, organizing students, and distinguishing different learning styles and interests. EFL teachers are faced with the most difficult task when it comes to stimulate students’ attention at the same time and that makes it too demanding and challenging. Being a teacher needs great patience, strength, courage, confidence, intelligence, humor and most importantly preparation and management. Digging deeper into teaching English language, the writing skill is one of the four basic skills that requires specific aspects to be achieved. It is one of the skills that has been given much more attention than before as it is considered as difficult for both teachers and pupils. For such, the present study, firstly, concerns classroom management and sheds light on teaching of writing on mixed ability classes.
