Introduce the target language (e.g., the Past Simple) using a story, video, or picture.
Never teach a list of random vocabulary words. Always wrap your lesson in a "situational context." Teaching a list of kitchen utensils.
This is the "Old Faithful" of lesson planning. It provides a clear structure for both you and the learner:
The biggest mistake new teachers make is talking too much. Your goal should be an 80/20 split: students speak 80% of the time, and you speak 20%.
Are you looking to teach to a global audience, or are you preparing for a physical classroom setting?
Instead of explaining a word, ask "Concept Checking Questions" (CCQs). If you're teaching the word "bicycle," don't define it. Ask: "Does it have four wheels?" "Does it use gas?" 2. Use the PPP Framework
Modern ESL teaching benefits from tools that make learning feel like play: Use Kahoot! or Quizlet for vocabulary drills.
Use YouTube clips or lyricsstraining.com to show how English is actually spoken in the real world, not just in textbooks. The Golden Rule: Keep it Fun
