Greetings and Introductions Vocabulary

This A2 ESL lesson plan opens with a warm-up on greetings and introductions. Students match useful phrases with translations and practice basic questions and answers. Then they read a short text with fun facts and guess which ones are false — a perfect icebreaker for first lessons and new adult learners.

Present Simple "To Be" and "Have Got": Exercises and Speaking

The grammar focus is Present Simple with "to be" and "have got" — rules, usage, and real-life context including professions, appearance, and personality. Ready-to-teach exercises include matching, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence completion, and picture-based tasks. Students practice affirmative, negative, and interrogative structures, then describe people using both "to be" and "have got" in speaking activities.

Interactive Homework: Describing People

Interactive homework is built into the lesson — no extra prep needed. Students write a short description of their best friend using "to be" and "have got", revise vocabulary through matching and picture-based tasks, complete a true/false quiz, and finish with a gap-fill text about Adele's family practising Present Simple and descriptive adjectives in context.
