English Current was launched in March, 2011. The site's focus originally was providing free lesson plans based on breaking news stories for ESL students. The focus has since expanded to include a variety of ESL-related materials such as worksheets and grammar tips.
The site has been designed for teachers who need topic-based lesson plans or other ESL materials for classroom use and students who want to study and test their English online.
As of May 2022, EnglishCurrent asks that teachers and institutions pay a small $15 USD annual fee for access to our lesson bank of over 130 lesson plans. Visit here for membership information.
Englishcurrent is constantly evolving in content and layout. If you'd like to get in touch, please send Matthew an email. Note that the site does not accept paid posts.
Thank you for visiting.
