Here are my top ten websites for free ESL/EFL lesson plans. If you’ve got any other sites to recommend, please leave a comment below!
TEFL.net lesson plans – A nice variety of materials, and a worksheet generator.
Teaching English – British Council’s well-developed site for teachers includes a nice range of lesson plans and activities.
The Internet TESL Journal – ITESLJ gathers a whole heap of lessons and worksheets together one page. Check it out!
BBC World Service English lessons – Worksheets, audio and visual aids and other resources available on one page. This site is well worth using.
Using English .pdf lessons – Over 150 lesson plans ready to use in PDF format – that’s not to be sneered at.
TEFLtastic worksheets – Alex Case’s blog has a disorderly and sometimes rather strange collection of worksheets, but it’s worth checking if only for the sheer variety on offer.
One Stop English lessons and worksheets – Vocabulary worksheets are One Stop’s forte, but you’ll find other lessons here too. Access to some lesson plans requires registration.
ESL About – The lesson plans here are rather bare bones, but useful all the same. Impressive range of Intermediate and Advanced lessons.
ESL Flow – Hundreds of PDFs for beginner and intermediate level learners. The worksheets are quite primitive, but they are useful for adapting into lessons.
Simply ESL – Well laid out, professional site. Strong focus on young learners. Recommended.
With all these sites for lessons plans, there’s no need to plan your own lessons ever again (joke)! Please leave any other recommendations in the comments below.
Hello Ben, thanks for providing this list of resources. There are those times when an unexpected lesson change calls for an emergency worksheet, and these links could be a lifesaver! Thanks.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers,
