Flexible teaching
Whether you’re teaching online or offline, we’ve got you covered. Print our PDFs, that include both student’s and teacher’s versions, or use our e-lessons – whichever suits your style.
Diverse lesson options
We offer lesson plans for every need: Speaking Classes to enhance communication skills, Flipped Lessons to encourage independent study, Critical Reading Classes to focus on active reading and Vocabulary Lab worksheets to boost vocabulary. For extended learning, you’ll also find Lesson Sets and Lesson Flows. Additionally, we provide standalone activities, including games, grammar and vocabulary exercises.
Ready-to-use lessons
No preparation required! Our lessons are ready-to-use from the moment you open them, saving you time and effort. And to further support your teaching journey, we offer helpful teaching tips alongside our lesson materials.
Revision and homework made easy
Save time with our Revision Tasks Generator – an AI tool that instantly creates ready-to-use revision, homework or test tasks for any ESL Brains lesson. Regenerate, edit and download them as PDFs to give your students extra practice in seconds.
Extensive lesson library
Choose from 900+ lessons, with four new lessons added every week. You’ll never run out of fresh material. We always publish a diverse range of lesson plans, mingling topics like Business, Technology, Global Issues and more.
Based on authentic materials
Not only do our lessons aim at developing your students’ speaking fluency, they are also based on authentic videos, podcasts and articles. We also use real news – check out News for Classroom Use for quick warm-ups, fillers, or wrap-ups that engage your students with up-to-date topics.
What teachers say
Saves prep time
Seriously, I absolutely LOVE these lessons! They are all on such relevant topics & have great content for most levels. Keep them coming so I can spend my planning time out fishing 😎
- Chris
Thought-provoking topics
Your site is THE MOST USEFUL lesson plan bank on the web. Fresh, thought-provoking and hot topics, relevant language, detached from all TEFL book clichés that students are so bored of... It's pure gold. Pure diamond. 😄
- Teréz
Engaging content
So far all of the lessons that I’ve used have engaged my learner and kept me excited about sitting in two and two and a half-hour long lessons! Loveya so much!

Best lessons out there
I discovered this website quite by accident and I am *so* happy I did! I have never seen such well-prepared materials, worksheets and presentations and believe me, I have seen a lot in my teacher life😉
- Natalia
Real-life videos
I particularly like the inclusion of a lot of videos which break up the monotony of paper handouts for students and opens up learning to those who have a more visual bias.
- Dave
Flexible and adaptable
It makes my life so much easier to have ESLbrains as a resource instead of scrapping together my own lesson plans every week. AND the fact that you let me download the teacher, student, and PPT slides is a differentiator from other products
