This video is from the Ventures Professional Development DVD. Ventures is a six-level, four-skills English language course for adults from Cambridge University Press.
I'm a Brazilian language teacher and I think it's really possible to prepare and apply Multilevel classes here (in Brazil). The unique obstacle which are complicated to be overcome is the educational system which only guides us to teach our students how to 'understand' and translate texts into the English language. I do not mean the offered structure is nice and comfortable because I am sure it is not, however I cannot forget to figure out the fact that teaching 'how to translate something' is the most failed way to teach a language.
This may be a good strategy and suitable for low class strength. Another challenge for low resources is, availability of worksheets and teacher competence. Even the furniture available in class makes a difference. .
Did you make all the worksheets, or did they come from a book? Oxford Picture Dictionary and Heinle Pic Dic both have different levels of worksheets for each page. We have beginning and intermediate and I assume they have advanced ones as well.
I liked it. But, I think, it is a challange for brazilians teachers, because they work 40 hours a week to gain a "good" cash to have a life without financial problems. Working 40 hours, they cannot plan different activities.
One doesn't need many different activities, rather different twists on the same thing. Different partners, different classroom arrangements, different color paper...etc. This eases the work-load of teachers and lesses the burden of instructional English on students.
Worksheets are not teaching, but everything the teacher does with the whole group before and after the worksheets, and everything the teacher does to support the learners individually during the worksheet activity certainly is teaching. Besides, part of learning is reflective time and experimenting time, and a well-designed worksheet provides both - and planning in that sort of time IS teaching.

I love how the handouts have different difficulty levels but require the same answers
I've just watched several of these videos - I'm an experienced ESL teacher but I've learned SO much from them. Thank you.
Leigh Bailey Me too!
