Real-world English, ready for your classroom
Authentic English Lessons is a lesson design agency by Oksana Pankova. We turn authentic materials into engaging English lessons and courses, so teachers can spend less time preparing and more time teaching.
Lessons built from the real world
Authentic English Lessons was born from a simple idea: the best English lessons start from something real. A video, an article, a conversation people are actually having today.
Every lesson is created by a certified TEFL expert and turned into a ready-to-use plan with vocabulary, grammar and speaking practice built in, so you can open it, adapt it and teach it with confidence.
Today we create ready-made lessons from A1 to C1, design custom ESL and ESP courses for schools and companies, and help teachers grow with self-paced courses.
Passionate about authentic materials and curriculum design.
Our approach
Four ideas behind every lesson, course and guide we create.
Authentic materials
Real videos, texts and topics that students meet outside the classroom, not invented textbook dialogues.
Students who talk
Lessons designed around meaningful discussions, so students build the confidence to speak.
Teachers' time matters
Ready-to-use plans that save hours of preparation and are easy to adapt to any group.
Thoughtful design
Every lesson follows clear teaching steps, from vocabulary to fluency, grounded in curriculum design.
