For ESL teaching, Confucius would have said: “A trainee or novice ESL teacher who does not plan long ahead will find trouble in his ESL class.” Bear in mind the sage’s words of wisdom, and read on to find out how to write an ESL lesson plan.

It is usually standard practice for an educational institution to have blank pre-prepared ‘lesson plan sheets’ as part of its stationery: if this is not the case, you can quickly make your own using one of the templates that are provided by some of the on line word processors such as ‘Microsoft’s Word’ or ‘Open Office’. The lesson plan itself should be written as follows: The header, which should appear at the top of each page of the lesson plan, must include the lesson title, syllabus references, the date and time of the lesson, and the ESL teacher’ name.

The lesson may be conveniently divided into three stages: presentation, practice, and production – the so-called three P’s methodology. The amount of time allocated to each stage should be clearly shown, e.g. for a forty-five minute lesson.
