How to Plan Online Lessons for ALL LEVELS (ESL EFL)

Do you spend hours every week typing and writing out the perfect lesson plan for each of your students? Sometimes lesson planning can be super quick and easy. Everything you are looking for pops up easily and you're good to go. More often though, it takes a lot more time, especially when it is a class you are planning for the first time or for a student with a specific goal.

We, teachers, do so much behind the scenes that nobody realises: lesson planning, grading papers, building relationships with students and their parents, and much more. It is arguably one of the most time-consuming vocations in the world. And we certainly don't get paid for the hours that we put into all these extra tasks, such as lesson planning. But what if it didn’t have to take that long? What if you could plan lessons that cater to all levels?

In this video, we will go through the process of planning a lesson for GENERAL ENGLISH students who seek to improve their skills in a great variety of discourse settings. Language skills addressed include listening, fluency development, oral intelligibility, reading, grammar, writing, and vocabulary development. Using free tools (Google slides, Paint, British Council resources) we can easily create lessons that can be used with students of all levels and save our time when lesson planning.

Children Learning Reading is the top to read program.
There's absolutely NO other program like it. It's an amazing program that will help parents teach their children to read in just 12 weeks. I have taught my 4 kids to read using it, and I have also taught students between 3 to 8 years old to read as well. We've also been affiliate marketers since 2001. So we've been on both sides of online marketing for over a long time.

Fantastic video, you really helped me organize my thoughts 🙏

[javiers.]

Nice video!.
I'm trying to go deeper into lesson planning and design, since in my TESOL training, the information was too short.
I think you said something about warmers and coolers into a lesson, but that sounds to me more like fitness exercise schema, so how do you land this concepts while making a lesson?.
Thanks!.

This would take hours to do for every student. I use pre-made lessons and alter them as needed.

[mariasanchez]

I need your opinion... next school year I will have in the same classroom students from level A1 to C1 and it will me my first time teaching to a mixed class, you do suggest to speak only in English? My school is in Mexico, so I'm the ESL teacher, thank you so much for all your help with your videos!
