Lesson Overview

This ESL Lesson plan teaches students how to express an opinion which is obviously essential as the language is used in the majority of conversations from hanging out with friends, to important business meetings. 

We recommend delivering this ESL lesson plan on expressing an opinion to A1-A2 level learners, and to any students that are keen to develop their speaking skills. The engaging activities will provide them with the necessary language to give an opinion.
