This B1/B2 Lesson Flow for teens includes 18 engaging lessons with follow-ups to help your students communicate with confidence. Please bear in mind that these lessons were originally designed for adult learners, though we believe the topics are appropriate for teens as well. 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.
What’s inside the B1/B2 Lesson Flow for Teens?
This Lesson Flow includes 18 engaging lessons with follow-ups to help your teenage students communicate confidently and enjoy learning English. Please bear in mind that these lessons were originally designed for adult learners, though we believe the topics are appropriate for teens as well. Additionally, please note that two of the lessons (I’ve been doing it for a week and I love it! and Would you like to be a meme?) feature videos containing beeped-out swear words. Before you use the lessons in this flow with your students, we advise you to check their content to make sure it’s appropriate for your particular group of teenage learners.
Developing language skills
With this B1/B2 Lesson Flow for Teens, your students will work on:
- speaking skills while talking about their dreams, preferences, feelings, social media and technology; while describing appearances, talking about films, hobbies, activism, rules, memes and culture.
- listening skills with videos: news reports, explainer videos, a short animated video, a movie trailer, a TED Talk video, BuzzFeed and Insider videos, videos with stories of people and animals, as well as a street interview.
- reading skills with texts about films, social media stories and laws around the world, as well as tweets and articles about real-life superheroes and a 14-year-old SpaceX employee.
- writing skills while creating memes and text messages.
Improving grammar, vocabulary and functional language
The Flow also makes your students learn and practise:
- vocabulary: words to describe people’s appearance, internet vocabulary, film genres, phrasal verbs related to hobbies, emotion adjectives, words and phrases related to social networks, common texting abbreviations, phrasal verbs with ‘away’ and vocabulary to talk about activism.

What a fab course! I’m so pleased you do something for Teens because it is so hard to find decent material for them that is not too mature or immature. Do you know if you plan to do any more lesson flows for teens? I’m struggling to find B2/C1 material for them.
Thanks, we’re glad you found it useful 🙂 We are planning to add more Lesson Flows in the future, so stay tuned!
But where is it? I click on “open” and all I get is some kind of map with topics (1 page). That’s not what I need. I need materials.
Hi Katarzyna! The file contains clickable lesson titles, so you can access the materials directly by clicking on the lesson you’re interested in.
I would like lesson flow for Teens at B1 level, do you have any material I can use ?
Hi there! We don’t have a lesson flow for teens at B1 level, but thanks for the suggestion!
