I'm an ESL teacher with just a few months experience in class and no TEFL certificate. I have had exactly the problem with coming up with lesson plans. The issue is I'm teaching students who have never learned a language and are absolute beginners, and it looks like most of the lesson plans you have are for higher level students. In general, I think it's important to break down the level in lesson plans first. The challenge with absolute beginners is that you can't get into any interesting material and I'm not very good at coming up with creative and fun lesson plans all the time.
- Cawbv 11y agoHi, Yes, these are plans for the more advanced ESL students. I am working towards including guest teachers, some of whom may contribute lesson plans for the lower levels. I agree that It is very challenging for teachers working with true beginners to create interesting activites. The New York Times has an ESL teaching section that might be of interest to you. Another useful site is Betty Azar http://www.azargrammar.com http://www.azargrammar.com.
