I had trouble figuring out what to do to teach a multi level ESL class. In this book, the vocabulary is so diverse and detailed that even the higher level students have something useful to learn and it's still not over the head of the lower levels. However it is almost pure vocabulary learning with a bare minimum of dialog activity. You'd have to supplement this with something else like the Word by Word workbook for practice and reinforcement. Also may need a supplemental book that focuses in on grammar. If your class is level specific, the Side by Side book for your level or Foundations for ESL Literacy would be my advice. BTW both are by the same pair of authors. I think Molinsky and Bliss are demigods of ESL!

I tutor English to ESL students and combine this workbook with the Word By Word Picture Dictionary. This workbook is perfect to those between beginners and intermediate levels of English proficiency. The workbook has helpful exercises and helps the student apply the vocabulary learned in the dictionary. I especially like how the student is forced to visually associate words with meanings rather than jump to their native language for a definition. I highly recommend this book!
