How can LANGUAGE SKILLS be furthered in the FL class at an advanced level?

SOME MYTHS
 There are too many different levels of ability in this class
 As soon as students are told to work in groups, L2 is not used. They speak in L1
 There are too many students in the class to do pair oral exchanges
 I’d like to incorporate more speaking activities in my English class, but students might feel overwhelmed by this
 Writing tasks involve too many sub skills to be assessed in an integrative manner
 Time is too short to give students enough speaking practice
 Strategies for developing comprehension are not helpful
 Students make too mistakes, some of which can not be corrected all the time
