INTRODUCTION
Literacy can be defined as an ability to write, read and understand language, numbers etc.
Literacy can impact ability of an individual to learn a second language so that they can connect
to the world easily (Celik & Yavuz, 2018). In order to learn a second language, it is important to
enhance one’s own comprehensive, reading and writing skills (Park & Warschauer, 2016).
English is one of the most common second language that helps individuals to connect with world

(English as a foreign language), and ESOL (English for speakers of other language). This
assignment will focus upon lesson plan designing for ESL individuals with a brief introductory
rationale for all the three lesson plans.
