In the Thai ESL job market and others, it’s not unheard of for schools to ask foreign ESL teachers to teach other subjects like biology or chemistry. These lessons can be tailored to fit any age group and any fluency level. This group of lesson plans will arm you with current, up-to-date science topics. In that spirit, we’ve put together a list of 68 ESL lesson plans and templates (broken out by topic) that you can start using today. While many teachers might opt to “wing it” or reuse old lessons (both of which I was guilty of when teaching in Korea ), there is something to be said for fresh inspiration – sometimes you just need to introduce some new material into your routine. When it comes to teaching abroad (or teaching in general), one of the most challenging parts of the job is creating and updating ESL lesson plans.ĭepending on your role, you may need to use dozens of lessons spread across multiple classes during the term – and sometimes there is just not enough gas left in the tank to come up with something new every time.
