We asked if beginning and advanced students can use the same lessons. Before we give an intuitive answer, we need to ask the question properly. We should ask instead, "Does English have multiple, specialized language divisions?"
The answer is, "No, it does not." There is no "high" English language spoken by the gentry as contrasted to a "low" language spoken by commoners. Historically, this has been true in many languages such as Greek and Chinese, to mention only two. Modern English does not even have a specialized construction for folklore. Many cultures which have preserved an oral tradition have a story-telling form of the language distinct from the language used in normal conversation. In these cultures, there will often be specialists who repeat the folklore in public gatherings. Common English has none of that tradition. (Ebonics, and more recently "Rap," however, are sub-classes of English in which there are specialized language divisions.)
In fact, English is so simple in this regard that we do not even have two forms of address for people of different social standing. (French, for instance, has strict conventions regarding the use of "tu" or "vous" when addressing a listener.) A U.S. citizen would address both the President of the United States and a young child as "you."
English certainly has specialized vocabularies. Any student who has taken courses in anatomy, law, physics, automotive technology, psychology, engineering, geology, or anthropology has spent a great deal of time mastering specialized terminology. But the essential English which combines these words into a sentence is still the language of the street or the daily newspaper.
So, aside from specialized vocabularies, English has no divisions representing varying levels of language complexity. Almost any individual with at least a high school education could make essentially the same evaluation of another speaker's ability to use "good" or "bad" English.
There is only one "kind" of English we can teach to an English language student. We do not need two (or more) different course levels. This does not mean that English is a simple language to learn. Far from it! However, the same complexity is found in all spoken English, not merely in some "higher" level.
Why have ESL programs traditionally insisted that there must be beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of English study? It is not because there are beginning and advanced levels of spoken English. It is because there are beginning, intermediate, and advanced explanations for English grammar. (This means that some rules of English grammar are easy to explain. Some rules of grammar are more difficult to explain. And some are so complex that a highly technical explanation would be required.) But spoken English is one subject of study, whereas the formal rules of English grammar are quite another.
In the next section, we will look at "grammar" as it relates to spoken English instruction.
Now, we can answer our question, "Can beginning and advanced students use the same lessons?" Of course they can. There is only one level of spoken English. Beginning students must start by speaking normal English sentences. Advanced students must continue until they are able to fluently pronounce those same normal English sentences.
There will be a great difference between the fluency skills of beginning and advanced students. But there is no difference in the "level" of English sentences they must study. They must both use the same English sentences to initiate—and then to master—the process which will develop the necessary cognitive, motor, and auditory skills used to speak fluent English.
