Watch the video to learn about Fluentize and why it is my #1 resource for English teachers.

Fluentize is hundreds of video lesson plans on demand

I'll let the video do most of the talking for me, but essentially, Fluentize is a growing library of ready-to-go lesson plans all built around real-life videos. You can either buy lessons in packs or get a year's membership that offers you unlimited access to the entire library. I have a very close personal relationship with the creator of the company. He's an awesome teacher and created the majority of the lessons himself over the years. As of July 2023, they have over 410 lesson plans on their site, with 80-100 new lessons being created every year.

A membership will save you time and stress!

A huge portion of teaching is lesson planning. With Fluentize, you'll never have to waste time preparing for your classes again. All of their lessons are up to date, with each lesson being created around a real-life video. You simply search their vast library of lessons for something you are looking for, press print, and you've got 6-8 pages of wonderful material ready to go. For online teachers, all of the lessons are completely interactable on screens.

I like this company so much that we get all of the grads of The Language House TEFL a membership when they graduate from our course. I reached out to Jake (the owner) and he offered me a promo code - CHRIS20 - that will get EVERYONE 20% off all of their lessons. Do yourself a favor and just get the full membership. If Fluentize is good enough for me to purchase memberships for all of my teachers, I'm sure you'll find it useful too.

Try before your buy!

I'd never promote something that I didn't find useful. If you are interested in giving Fluentize a try, they offer sample lessons on their site for free. Try them out and see how they work for you. If you like the feel and quality of the plans, imagine having around 500 more at your disposal. Teaching ESL is already demanding without the extra stress involved with lesson planning. Why spend hours preparing for your classes when you have this great service available to you?

Once you purchase a membership, let me know your thoughts! I would love to hear how it goes! Don't forget to use my code and get your discount.

ESL Lesson Plan - Passive Voice - Crime Scene

Here's a lesson for solid intermediates and up with a language focus on the passive voice and crime lexis. At the end of the lesson, students take the roles of police officers and have to give a press briefing to the media about a crime scene that they witnessed.
