ESL Plan 101: How to Make an ESL Lesson Plan for ESL Learners

ESL Lesson Plan 101: How to Make an ESL Lesson Plan for ESL Learners: In this video I will be demonstrating the process of lesson planning for English teachers with an ESL lesson plan template. How to write an ESL lesson plan for English language learners has all of the same components as a traditional lesson plan template. In this part 1 with this ESL lesson plan, I clearly outline how to write an ESL language objective that corresponds with a content objective. How to write a lesson plan for elementary, middle, and high schools will also take on a similar ESL planning approach. It is my sincere hope that in this how to write a lesson plan youtube video, you feel more confident about how to write a lesson plan objective for your English language learners.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the effort made behind the scenes? I loved everything about it! Lesson planning is stressful, but this video is so useful & even fun to watch with all of this amazing editing ✨big love ❤️

[MooncakeEnglish]

A fantastic in-depth explanation of the complex world of lesson planning - thank you!

[timetraveler]

I started them off with word study, vocabulary, writing, then reading. I spend like thirty minutes, so I teach the vocabulary quickly. When I read the story, I go over the vocabulary again and get into the reading. For the writing, I get them started on the different types of essays just briefly going over it. I just am very limited in time to 30 minutes.

As for the lesson planning, I am lucky to have an administration that doesn’t focus on that, but how you will teach them to the students. They are ok with just a brief overlook schedule type of lesson plan.

Girl look at you go! Your editing game is on point! Wish I had these videos when I started teaching ESL decades ago. Sending love to you always!

[OrangenBlues]

Thank you some much❤ I have been studying English as my second language for over a decade.
Recently, I started to tutor in ESL .
And I was terrified by how inexperienced I as a teacher.
I am from Georgia and I am preparing to take my English Teacher License. Please wish me luck 😁😁

I have been teaching ESL to adults for a couple decades now and was recently offered what feels almost impossible but there is an enormous need. This is extracurricular, outside the school district for children of non English speaking, newly arrived parents. My teammates speak Creole and some Spanish; some children speak two languages but most speak little to no English. My teammates have some teaching experience but not ESL. My students range in age from about 6 to 16. I am desperate to find to give my absolutely precious, mostly very bright students the leg up to be able to strut their intelligence and get the respect and teacher involvement/ investment they need to shine academically! I’ve watched two of your beginner videos that I just found and WILL watch the rest in n the next few days but have to run teach my class now. Thank you so much again!!💕
