Lesson Planning Masterclass for ESL Teachers!
Upgrade your lesson planning game without spending countless hours - plan an entire month's lessons for your ESL beginners!
Join Ieva Grauslys from simplyieva.com for this two-part workshop.
Hey, ESL teacher! Feel like you have no idea about how to create first month's lesson plans for your ESL beginners?
Your principal said:
~ you're the expert
~ make it happen!
~ your job is to support them, we don't have a curriculum!
You smiled, said "yes", and thought:
~ Where do I even begin planning?
~ What do I teach?
~ How long do I stick with a topic/skill/language domain before moving forward?
And (oh gosh!)
~ how do I know they are learning?
If this sounds way too familiar, it is time to take matters into your own hands!
The truth is... many ESL teachers struggle with planning their lessons for ESL beginners. Especially if you are a new(er) ESL teacher or one without a curriculum to follow.
If not addressed, you’re facing more of the same old, my friend:
- haphazard teaching of skills that take longer to stick
- countless hours spent looking for materials
- your own sanity goes and disillusionment sets in
If you are reading this, I know you are a compassionate and caring teacher, who wants to make a change in their teaching and the beginner/newcomer ESL students' lives.
The question is: HOW?
The answer: Map out and plan your first month's lessons for ESL beginners
After completing this lesson planning masterclass you will know
- What your overall teaching goal should be
- How to narrow it down to daily lessons
- Exactly what to focus on in each lesson
- The best way to measure success
- And most importantly - you'll feel more organized and confident!
Maybe you’ve tried planning out before. But then you got lost in the maze of tips, tricks and quick fixes promised on the internet.
Maybe you’ve never tried planning for an entire month because just the thought of doing it came crashing down on you like an avalanche.
In either case, you’re in the right place!
I liked the idea of time blocks for planning and learning about language and content objectives. I'm motivated to get planning for the semester.

3 myths that are killing your newcomer teaching mojo
#1 No time to plan
❤️ The truth is, you have the same amount of time every day. How can you make it work for you?
#2 No newcomer curriculum
❤️ The truth is, while content is important, so is your connection with the students.
# 3 “I have to know it all to plan"
❤️ The truth is, you don't need to teach them everything at once!
When you slow down, adjust your mindset, and seriously decide to map out your first month, you can then do so for the next month, and the next, and the next…
Until you have a full year’s worth of lessons! And feel even more confident in your ability to teach English to those who are just starting out.

Meet Ieva.
I am an ESL teacher, teaching consultant, and owner of simplyieva.com and The ESL Teaching Roadmap, where I provide help to busy ESL teachers with ready-made resources, actionable tips, and meaningful coaching.
I have been a teacher for over 14 years and have worked with English learners at various stages of their English learning journey. As a former English learner myself, I bring my background and unique perspectives to the classroom and am able to simply and easily connect with both ESL students and educators alike.
I firmly believe that the best teacher is one who constantly learns and therefore you can find me feeding my curiosity by learning from people, books, and travels.
I am super passionate about teaching English and helping others do so, too!
