This ESL business lesson plan covers the topic of ‘Success’. Students will explore the subject through an awesome video, and will complete many language learning exercises too. In this ESL business class, learners will be introduced to new vocabulary and fun speaking tasks. They will analyze how businesses define success, this activity will introduce new words too. 

Your ESL Students will love discussing the video, and completing listening, vocabulary and discussion activities based on it. We particularly love the ‘failure’ exercise because many interesting questions are posed which allows for a great debate and encourages students to use their newly acquired language.
