How ESL, EAL and ESOL teachers use this lesson plan

Fill it in for daily lessons, observations or sub plans, and keep a copy in your planning binder. A consistent layout makes it quicker to plan and easier for a substitute to follow. ESL, EAL and ESOL teachers working on vocabulary, speaking, grammar and reading can change every word to match the unit.

Simple sentences, pictures and consistent layouts lower the reading load for new learners. Write the objective in student-friendly words you can say out loud at the start.
