Heads Up English

Welcome to Heads Up English. Here you'll find complete ESL lesson plans, ESL materials, and most everything you need for beginners, lower intermediate, upper intermediate, and advanced English students. The free materials and printables are real, relevant, and readily applicable - no printables or activities which practice English just to practice English.

So take a look around, download the lessons and printables, and have a great class!

ESL News Lessons

A free ESL lesson plan each week based on what's in the news, plus over one hundred older lesson plans in the archives. All the lesson plans are written for advanced, upper-intermediate, and lower-intermediate students. All lesson plans consider the time constraints of the class and student ability, as well as busy teachers' schedules. The lessons remain flexible enough to meet specific ESL needs - just print the free lessons and teach. Students can even download the English lessons for self-study and homework.

ESL Skill Builders

Hundreds of hours worth of flexible materials for your ESL students to focus on a particular English skill - speaking, listening, or grammar. There are questions on hot topics for discussion, debate, or even homework for lower intermediate, upper intermediate, and advanced ESL students. And take a look at the extended podcasts for listening practice and self-study.

ESL Articles

Improve your ESL lesson plans with new ideas and techniques. The articles focus on methodology and activities to make more interesting, effective, and dynamic classrooms.
