What makes our ESL lesson plans different? First, we build lesson plans rooted in the best pedagogy for teaching ESL. These lesson plans employ a teacher-guided approach. These downloads are designed to be led by a teacher in real-time. We built these lessons specifically for online and screen-enabled classrooms. Finally, they are free! We will continue to add additional free ESL Lesson Plans, so please, enjoy, share with your colleagues and check back for more!

At Off2Class, we know the importance of quality ESL lesson plans. From our earliest days, we focused on building quality plans. Over the years, we have created over 1000 plans and show no sign of stopping. We know the teacher community is central to our work and, as a way to give back to our community, we are giving away a selection of free ESL lesson plan downloads.
