Part 1 of this pre-intermediate flow should be used with students who already know their basics and are ready to start communicating in English. The lessons in the flow introduce lots of vocabulary and grammar structures which are practised in speaking and provide numerous opportunities for students to work on their listening and speaking skills. Read the full flow breakdown
This is a Lesson Flow, a sequence of 15-20 lessons, with additional ‘follow up’ lesson suggestions. The Flows are compilations of pre-existing ESL Brains lessons, but with a new purpose of helping teachers navigate learning in a more structured way. Learn more about it here.

Thank you,its very useful for us
Glad you like it!
Are you planning on expanding those materials? It typically takes about a year to progress from A2 to B1 and that accounts for ca. 60 lessons and in the current flow I can see only 18… Also, A2 Flow for Teens would come in handy 🙂
Hi, thanks for the comment!
Our flows are designed to be a starting point for users rather than a curriculum. For instance, we currently have over 90 A2 lessons available, and we are leaving it up to the teacher to decide which will work best for their students.
And thanks for the idea for an A2 flow for teens!
