How to run a class: a simple 60-minute plan
| Time | What to do |
|---|---|
| 0–5 min | Welcome, names, and the warm-up question on slide 2 |
| 5–20 min | Key phrases: play each one, the class repeats, check the meaning |
| 20–30 min | Conversation: listen once, then line by line while learners fill the gaps on the worksheet |
| 30–45 min | Your turn: pairs role-play the conversation, then again with their own details |
| 45–55 min | Quiz on the slides, then learners write their own sentences (worksheet part D) |
| 55–60 min | Wrap-up: what was new today? Learners can do the lesson again at home (QR code on the last slide) |
New learners need lots of repetition, so it's fine to do one lesson over two sessions. Not sure which level to start with? Ask learners to try our free English level test, or start with lesson 1.
