English learners all over the world experience the same basic frustrations: They have to translate ideas from their native language into English in their heads before they speak. They need to think about grammar rules, and make mistakes when speaking. They forget new vocabulary, and have trouble finding the right words to say in conversations. They're often not understood because of their poor pronunciation or use of incorrect words. And they sometimes don't understand the fast speech, difficult accents or conversational vocabulary of native English speakers. Over time, these lead to a loss of confidence, a fear of speaking and many missed opportunities. So, why do so many learners experience these problems, and never become successful communicators?

I receive A LOT of emails from online teachers (and online teachers to be) about planning; namely, what they should include in their lessons and what resources they should use. As there are many areas of English and different teaching methods, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. What I do and what I use might not work for you and your learners. However, there are some common practices and amazing resources that you can use in your online lessons. And as a way of celebrating the incredible teachers who create their own content so that we can use it with our students, I have put together this super post. I asked 19 online teachers for a tip or an app when it comes to lesson planning, and for them to share their resource. As well as being a handy guide for you, this might also inspire you too to create content for your learners (if you’re not doing this already). (At the bottom of the post there is a chance for you to add your own resources.) Gabby Wallace
