About

You got an interview for an ESL teaching position — congrats! But they asked you to prepare a demo lesson… or, during the interview, they ask you what you plan to use for materials. Don’t worry! This session will help you be prepared. Using lesson plan providers is a great way to supplement lessons and materials that you’ve already made in your personal portfolio. This session will help you choose which lesson plan company will work for you, and then, which lesson plan to choose for your demo lesson!
