What is a Lesson Flow?
Lesson Flow is a sequence of lessons, designed to take your student on a particular learning journey. A flow contains around 15 lessons covering the four skills as well as vocabulary, grammar and functional language. The additional follow-up lesson suggestions offer extra opportunities for reading and speaking practice, as well as targeted grammar exercises related to the topic. Lesson Flows are compilations of pre-existing ESL Brains lessons, but with a new purpose of helping teachers navigate learning in a more structured way. They serve as guidelines that you can and should customize by adding or removing lessons based on your students’ needs.
