TEFL Grammar Lesson Plan

This TEFL lesson plan focuses on teaching passive grammar forms to a class of 20 Thai students aged 19-24 at the B1/B2 level. The plan includes stages for lead-in, practice, feedback, and follow-up activities designed to engage students and help them understand and apply passive voice in various contexts. The lesson utilizes examples from a previously listened story and assigns homework to reinforce learning.
