We love making resources for busy English teachers!
Over 25,000 language teachers have joined ESL Library. Will you be our next member?
Every teacher needs a break from planning lessons.
Let us give you that break...
Teaching a language involves a lot of creativity, a lot of time, and a lot of resources. For the days that you’re low on any of those things, rely on us for well-planned, ready-made lesson plans for your class.
We add new and topical material every month
We work hard to keep ESL-Library fresh by adding new lesson plans every month. We look at the world around us, and write lessons that are current, topical and relevant to today. Whether it's the form of a debate, a dialogue, or a discussion, our lessons are packed with content, tasks, and drills that keep students interested and active in the classroom.
Save time preparing for class
We have over 500 ready-made lesson plans plus more than 2000 vocabulary images, and our library continues to expand every month. Our clean and simple-to-navigate site makes it easy to quickly find a lesson to compliment your own curriculum. Every teacher knows how valuable and limited prep-time is. ESL-Library takes that load off and provides you with well-planned, professionally-written content whenever you need it.
Students love our content
A great lesson plan starts with content that immediately grabs the interest of the student. We make lesson plans that spark discussion and debate amongst students, and prompt them to actively participate in the tasks. Our articles, dialogues and drills get students talking, laughing, arguing and collaborating, all while speaking in English. Students love our lessons.

Here is a fun way to introduce the English saying "The grass is always greener on the other side". This fun story is an interesting way to explore the differences between "literal" and "figurative" language.
Parallel Structure and Paired Joining Terms
ESL-Library blog: May 16, 2013
Mistakes with parallel structure are all too easy to make. Refresh your memory on the rules for using parallel structure, and teach your students how to use the common expressions not only...but also, either...or, neither...nor, and both...and.

Our goal at ESL-Library is to continually produce and offer high quality lesson plans and flashcards for English teachers. We know that many teachers are over-worked and out of time. We love making resources that make your teaching life a whole lot easier. (Find out more about us...)
