Teaching beginning English as a Second Language or ESL is very satisfying. Along with speaking and listening skills you will need to plan grammar lessons for your class. Creating grammar lesson plans for an ESL class is a straightforward process that you can use to develop specific lessons to meet the needs of your students.

Instructions

1

Set goals for your lesson. Decide what element of grammar the lesson will cover and set several objectives for your students to accomplish during the lesson. Consider what your students already know about grammar when writing your goals and objectives.

2

Write an introduction for the grammar lesson. Your introduction must show your ESL students why the grammar skills you are teaching are important for them to master. Include examples of the specific grammar element being used correctly.

3

Begin your lesson plan by including a few minutes when you will model the correct use of the grammar skill you will be teaching. Give several written and spoken examples for your students.

4

Create activities your students can complete to learn the grammar skill you are teaching. Try to use activities that will work with a variety of learning styles.

5

Include time for your students to practice the grammar skill you will be teaching. Divide them into pairs to practice using the skill verbally. Let them practice the skill in writing, too.

6

Conclude your lesson plan with a way to measure your students' success. Whether you choose to give them a written or oral test or to have them demonstrate correct use of the grammar skill, you must be able to decide if they have learned the desired skill.
