Intermediate

Welcome to our collection of low-prep ESL lesson plans for intermediate-level English language learners. These lessons cover the core grammar areas that define competency at this level and build on the concepts learned in our Elementary and Upper Elementary courses.

Depending on the number of students you have and their level, lessons should take between 45 and 60 minutes. Each lesson plan contains suggested boardwork, several low-prep classroom activities and a fun game.

Flexible lesson plans

Our versatile new lesson format is designed for maximum adaptability across classroom, online, and one-to-one settings. Each plan includes teacher instructions, a four-page student handout, and an e-lesson version.
