IELTS: Introduction to Listening - ESL/ELL Lesson Plan

As an ESL teacher, idioms are one of my favorite things to teach. In order to truly understand a language, we have to understand more than just basic grammar conjugations -  we have to know slang, jokes, idioms, and the many other things that make a language unique. If you're looking for something fun and dynamic for your next ESL class, have a look at our lesson plan Idioms Describing People.



An idiom is a unique saying or phrase made up of words that, when combined, take on a whole new meaning than the individual words within the phrase. Idioms are common and students hear them every day, but they might not understand what they mean. They are tricky but important to teach to new English learners, especially as their listening and speaking skills improve.



Idioms Describing People focuses on common idioms we use to describe people, such as “black sheep” and “gold digger”. Students will learn and practice in this exciting, teacher-led activity.



This lesson plan is perfect for teens or adults. Use it in your next online or traditional, screen-enabled ESL class! Students love learning idioms and after this lesson, your students are guaranteed to feel more fluent than ever!



If you want the teacher notes and homework assignment, head to Off2Class.com. While you’re at it, check out the Lesson Library too! All of Off2Class’s lesson plans are ready to teach, with added explanations and follow-up questions. Teaching English has never been easier!

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.
