WHY SAVVY esl?

Built for advanced learners.

Savvy esl materials are created for teachers working with ambitious professionals, around the situations they need to handle: framing a discussion, explaining a position, challenging diplomatically, keeping a meeting focused, negotiating priorities and communicating decisions with confidence.

Teachers can bring well-structured, ready-to-use lessons into the classroom with confidence — without hours of prep.

Everything is already built
Every lesson is a print-ready file with teacher notes and a full answer key. Debate and video lessons also come with ready-made discussion and role-play tasks.
Built around real situations
Each lesson practises language for a moment your learners actually face, like disagreeing with a boss, running a meeting or negotiating a salary, rather than generic office vocabulary.
Depth, not filler
Real articles and authentic video, each labelled with its CEFR level and built around a communication skill, so the material stands up in front of professional learners.
A LOOK INSIDE

Preview a debate lesson before you subscribe.

Here's the opening of one debate lesson: the warm-up and the start of the reading. Every debate lesson in the library follows the same structure.

Are Leaders Born or Made? — lesson cover
DEBATE LESSONLEADERSHIPB1–B2

Think you're a "self-made" leader? We often credit strong leadership to confidence, courage, and inner grit. It's easy to believe success stems purely from personal choices and innate strength — that true leaders are born from within.

But is character something you can teach? Critics of systems-based approaches argue that schools or workplaces might build skills, but they can't manufacture integrity…

The rest is for subscribers: reading, comprehension, vocabulary, discussion, debate, role-play, writing task and answer key.

PRACTICE PACKS

Same video, two more sessions.

The lesson introduces the skill. The practice pack builds it: two 60-minute sessions of rehearsal and feedback, then a task to try at work and report back on. One video, about three hours of teaching, ready to run from the PDF.

  1. 01Teach the lesson. Run the video lesson as usual.
  2. 02Run the pack. Two 60-minute sessions over the following week, with time links to the right moment in the video.
  3. 03Report back. Start your next lesson with the learner’s report on the homework task.
