What is this lesson about? This asking for help ESL lesson plan teaches A2–B1 learners how to make polite requests and offers of help in everyday situations. Students master useful structures like Could you…?, Would you mind…?, Let me…, and Shall I…? while practising pronunciation for natural intonation.

What language will students learn? Learners focus on six key terms: routine, chore, schedule, task, meditation, reminder. They also practise functional expressions for:

• Making polite requests: Could you set reminders for me? / Would you mind helping me with my chores?

• Offering help: I can help you with that. / Let me create a checklist for you.

• Checking politely: Do you need any help with…? / Shall I add a reminder for your meditation?
  

How do students practise? The lesson builds fluency and confidence step by step:

• Warm-up discussion questions about routines and daily tasks.

• Vocabulary matching to clarify key terms.

• Dialogue activity highlighting request and offer phrases with softeners.

• Gap-fill practice to reinforce accurate phrasing.

• Pronunciation focus on rising and falling intonation in requests and offers.

• Role-play speaking tasks with real-life daily routine scenarios.

• Personal reflection to apply the lesson to learners’ own lives.
  

Why is this lesson useful? By the end of the lesson, learners can:

• Ask for and offer help politely in English.

• Use a variety of request and support structures naturally.

• Improve pronunciation and intonation for clarity and politeness.

• Apply English to real-world daily life and wellbeing contexts.
