Dear Visitor:
I made this simple website to share free lessons with teachers and anyone who wants to practice English. The lessons are meant for intermediate English as a Second Language (ESL) students, but could be used by English-speaking adolescents as well. ENISL
Each lesson is based on a real story from the news, with an interactive reading quiz, prompts for speaking and writing, and printable PDF worksheets you can use in your classroom.
These lessons are provided for free and without any advertisements. If you use them, please consider putting a link to ESLFrog.com on your class website. You can support me with a small donation through the “Buy Me a Coffee” app (it accepts credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay).
Come back soon and watch as this project grows and evolves. In the future I plan on making exercises for grammar, listening, and pronunciation. I aim to make this one of the best places online for free high-quality educational materials.
Love,
Frog
