Consequently, Teacher needs to identify what learners level has? In order to have information to build a class profile. How does teacher do that?  First, applying a resource like diagnostic test, then with the results teacher could choose a correct material to teach the language through the context ; for this reason I understood that teacher has to plan stage by stage.
