ESL lesson plans for beginners | A1
Welcome to our collection of low-prep ESL lesson plans and resources for teaching beginners. These lessons cover some of the fundamental grammar and functional areas of the English language and are aimed at younger learners, although they can be adapted and used with adults.
Depending on the class size and level of your students, lessons should take between 60 and 90 minutes. Each lesson plan contains suggested board work, several low-prep classroom activities and a game.
If you find the free materials useful and want complete access to all of our teaching resources, you should consider becoming a member. Also, if you have an Android or iOS device, check out the TEFL Handbook app. We have designed it for use in the classroom, and it gives teachers offline access to all of our lesson plans.
