🌍 New book for ESL teachers: 12 SDG-inspired lesson plans


How can we help learners improve their English while also exploring the real-world issues shaping their future?
https://payhip.com/b/nbzT9
This new book brings together 12 practical lesson plans inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Designed for B1 and B2 learners, the lessons develop language skills through meaningful topics such as health, education, gender equality, cultural heritage, responsible consumption, food waste, peace and social justice.


Each lesson includes clear objectives, step-by-step classroom procedures and engaging activities such as discussions, role-plays, quizzes, storytelling, problem-solving and collaborative projects.


Teachers can also download the digital materials that accompany every lesson, including presentations, worksheets, audio recordings, reading texts, vocabulary resources, role-play cards, quizzes and visual prompts.


The book is ideal for teachers who want to:


✅ save preparation time
✅ develop all four language skills
✅ encourage critical and creative thinking
✅ introduce global citizenship and sustainability
✅ make English lessons more relevant and meaningful


Although many of the lessons draw on Indian contexts, the activities can easily be adapted for ESL and EFL classrooms around the world.
