Teaching Materials

Open lesson plans, handouts, interactive practice pages, and surveys developed for the department's EFL teacher internship programs in Ecuador and Peru, and for professional development with practising teachers. 71 files across 4 collections, free to use and adapt.

Collections

Materials are grouped by the audience they were written for. Within each collection, files are organised by topic: most topics come as a matched set of a lesson plan, a student handout, and a survey, so you can pick up a whole unit at once rather than assembling it from parts.

Intermediate English

A2–B2 learners

Topic units for intermediate English learners, each built as a lesson plan, a student handout, and a short survey. Most units come in two parallel levels so the same topic can run in a mixed-proficiency class.

Using these materials

What to expect

Most files are single self-contained HTML pages. Open one in a browser and it works — no install, no login, nothing to configure. Interactive pages run entirely in the browser, so they also work offline once the page has loaded, which matters in classrooms with unreliable connections.

These materials use their own visual design, distinct from the department pages that frame them. That is deliberate: they were built to hold a young learner's attention on a projector.

Printing and adapting

Handouts are laid out to print from the browser at A4 or Letter. Card sets and fill-in practice are supplied as PDFs so page breaks hold. Slides are PowerPoint files and will download rather than open in the browser.

Everything here may be reused and adapted for teaching. If you adapt a unit substantially and would like it added back to the collection, contact the department office.
