This is the PPT Lesson Plan Template that we use to build our ESL Lesson Plan Library. The PPT Lesson Plan Template contains slide guides and sample slides for Microsoft PowerPoint to help you create your own lesson content!

The template is a good starting point for creating a variety of different lessons.
The template was developed while creating Off2Class’ teacher-led ESL lesson content. That is, synchronous lesson content, designed to be taught to students live, by a teacher.
PPT is a format that is ideally suited for teaching on screens. Nowadays, it’s not just online classrooms that are screen-based. Both online and offline classrooms are increasingly using screens as a medium to present the lesson content. Our content is perfect for these environments. Screen-based classrooms include:
We recently hosted a webinar to guide teachers on how to build digital content. Watch the webinar here. This webinar is a perfect complement to getting started with our PPT Lesson Plan Template.
The PPT Lesson Plan template contains a number of slide guides that we use to build ESL lesson content at Off2Class. Use the guides to help you build your own lesson plan styles and templates.
We’ve also included a number of sample slides, from grammar-focused lessons. You can copy the sample slides into your own lessons and adapt them to your own style and needs.
We’re committed to providing more tools for busy teachers! Let us know what you think of the lesson plan template below. Which other tools would you like us to release?

Hi Kris,
will definitely do so, but it may take me a while to get to it. Just getting started and still teaching at a school.
Love the great work you all do!
Louise
This is just great!
Cheers Sergey, can’t wait to see what kind of lessons you develop! Be sure to link them here for us to take a look!

Kris, thank you. I really love it.
Hi Octavio, fantastic! Can’t wait to see some lessons you’ve developed. Care to link some older lessons so we can see what you were using before?
Hey Kris & James!!
Wonderful job!! Thanks a lot for sharing it!!
Cheers Rosana! Looking forward to seeing your lessons!
Congratulations Kris! You´ve done a great job. Thanks for sharing, that´s really helpful. I hope you continue growing
Cheers Adrian, looking forward to seeing some content from you!
This is fantastic, guys. I’m an ardent Apple user (OS X and iOS) and use Keynote rather than PowerPoint but your template loaded straight in with just a single font change. Thanks a lot guys.
Hi James, that’s great to hear!
Actually, your mention of the font change brings up an important point.
The reason our template is created in widely used fonts such as Arial is because of x-application compatibility.
When you set up your templates it’s very important to use fonts that will work across different authoring tools. Even moving a template between versions of PPT can be a challenge (e.g. PPT for PC vs. PPT for MAC). If your authoring tool doesn’t contain a font it will usually arbitrarily pick a new one for you and do an auto convert. The problem here is that different fonts have different sizes and can cause visual corruptions!
Thanks Kris,
I’ll admit, it took me a while to download this template, because I don’t use Powerpoint. If like me you have avoided it, worry not, just download it and then upload it to Google Drive. You can easily modify and save it there.
Cheers Lynne, since you’re a Google Drive user, it means it will be easy to share your creations! Please post some URLs here so we can take a look at your awesome lessons.

Hi Kris,
Does your online teachline classroom have translation tools ？You know I am a Chinese teacher, some Chinese students are bad in English , special in quatity of vocabulary. so at the beginning maybe they need some translation.
Hi Sandy, yes you can right click on any word in our lessons and run a translation into Chinese!
Hi Kris, thanks for the template!
It may help with explanation slides to introduce some animation to consecutive items to allow students the opportunity to make predictions. For example, when explaining verb tenses: Introduce the labels to the timeline diagram after the diagram itself so students can first try to identify the positions on the timeline.
Also, with exercise slides, do you think it could help to keep students interest peeked by introducing one exercise at a time, as students produce the answers?
Also, I don’t know what’s in the pipeline but do you think similar such templates may work for the games and quizzes?
I think this would be beneficial when adjusting the content according to the level of proficiency of the student. Cheers
Hi Simone, I agree with all your comments. You should adjust your content for whatever works best for your students. Our template is only a base and is designed for you to adapt to your needs. Once you create your first lessons with all your great changes, it would be fantastic if you could post them here so we can all see your creations!
Kris
Thanks for it
Enjoy Gokul!
I appreciate your hard work so much.
Thanks
Hi Tamar, we’re glad you’re enjoying the template, all the best, Kris!
I can’t thank you guys enough. I received an email yesterday about the template, the same day that I had to teach my first full lesson on italki. It made my preparation time much shorter and my presentation looked so professional. To top it off, my student really enjoyed his lesson and decided to book a package with me. Thank you!
Hi Abigail,
Thank you for stopping by and leaving some positive feedback. It makes us really happy when we help to make a teacher’s day better!
Regards,
James
Thank you very much for sharing. It will certainly help a lot.
Enjoy Ursula!
Thanks for being there, always helping us and offering goodmaterial!
Welcome and enjoy Mariana!
Hi Kris. Is it possible to upload templates with our own content onto the platform? The platform tools are great and would like to use them with some custom content. Cheers.
Hi Branko we’re working on it! For now, you can save a PPT as images and load them to your lesson canvases.
Kris
Great news. Thanks for the prompt response. I look forward to it. Also thanks for the advice on Canvas.

Hi Alannak, glad you like them, we’re happy to help!
Good morning.
Hope you are doing well. I really appreciate your efforts . I love the resources. They are useful.
Am I the only one who’s looking for an explanation of what PPT means?
Hi Pat, .ppt is the file extension for Microsoft Powerpoint, but I’ll make it more clear!
Very useful! Thank you!
Hi Louisa, you are very welcome. Happy teaching!
