The Last-Minute ESL/EFL Lesson Plan & Activity Guide contains
dozens of creative lesson plans & activities specifically aimed at both
new and substitute ESL instructors who may not have enough time and/or experience
to plan a lesson from scratch in a particular situation. This guide will also
be of interest to more experienced native and non-native speaker instructors
looking for fresh lesson ideas.
The lesson plans & activities in this resource guide are clear, concise,
and in most cases require a minimal amount of preparation. The majority of the
lessons & activities are between 40 and 60 minutes in length and cover a
variety of skill areas such as grammar, listening, speaking, writing, and reading.
There are lessons & activities for three levels: beginner, intermediate,
and advanced. The lesson plans are not designed to be exhaustive, minute-by-minute
tutorials, but rather to provide a solid foundation from which instructors can
feel free to expand upon the suggested format and activities contained within.
The guide is in convenient PDF format allowing you to print out a copy of any
