Lesson Overview

This detailed ESL Business lesson plan covers the topic of ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’. Students will explore the subject through an informative article, and will complete relevant, fun exercises. 

In the class, ESL students are introduced to new vocabulary and discuss the main types of CSR. Learners will discuss the negatives and positives of CSR after reading about them. We particularly love the ‘examples of CSR’ exercise because the real life case studies enable learners to see CSR in action, which stimulates an interesting conversation.
