Grammar - The Imperative

Are you looking for a fun ready-to-teach lesson plan for your ESL classroom? Check out Valentine's Day! This challenging reading lesson plan focuses on reading comprehension skills for English language learners. Students will learn new vocabulary while learning about the origins of Valentine's Day. This is a great lesson for high school students or adult ESL students, as it mixes new vocabulary and reading skills with a mini-history lesson!

Reading is an important skill for English language learners of all ages. We all know that it’s important for English language learners to spend time on reading activities, especially if they plan to work or study in English. I’ve noticed that some of my students don’t like reading, they would prefer to work on grammar or vocabulary. What I do in these cases is remind them how much reading improves their grammar and increases their vocabulary – this usually helps!

Valentine’s Day – This lesson plan focuses on the history of Valentine’s Day. My high school students love it, although I’ve used it successfully with many other students too. Remember, you can use this lesson on any day of the year. 

If you want the teacher notes and homework assignment, head to Off2Class.com. While you’re at it, check out the Lesson Library too! We offer a range of ready-to-teach lesson plans for your ESL classes. Spend less time planning and more time teaching the subject you love!

Gerund / Infinitive Online Bingo Game ESL

The transition for a teacher to the online system always requires a lot of effort and skills, for which there is usually not enough time. It is sometimes possible to spend a good 5-6 hours of time on creating 1 interactive lesson, which already indicates a week of non-stop busyness.
I offer to the attention of teachers my interactive English lessons for Pre-Intermediate/A2 level students (Speakout book, but you can also go through the exercises separately without reference to the book).The class is fully interactive, interesting role-playing games, conversational exercises, and audio are also added. Each task is adapted for any gadget (computer, phone, tablet). 
Almost all of the cards and pictures are clickable. Convenient and interesting!For the whole hour, each teacher receives an individual link and password, so your lesson remains completely yours at any time.


1 Lesson:
We discuss the photo, guess the specialization
We learn 8 words that we practice during the lesson (Interactive exercise, you can click on the cards an infinite number of times to change the word and translation)
The student reads the meaning, names the appropriate word, calls on it, and immediately the exercise shows whether his/her judgment is correct.
In any sequence, students open the cards, look at the hidden pictures and complete the tasks + listen to the audio, read the audio text, translate it.
Students recall the present tenses and practice question structures.
Analysis of business introductory structures + writing a business email.
