Find all Unlock 3 lesson plans for Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking — Units 1–4, ready to use in class. These units move students toward upper-intermediate work with more abstract reading, multi-paragraph writing, and longer speaking exchanges. Each unit integrates all four skills around one topic, so vocabulary, grammar, and structures carry across seamlessly — no need for separate materials.
Works best after Unlock 2. A student’s performance across a full unit is a reliable gauge of readiness to progress.
How to Use These Unlock 3 Lesson Plans
Run each Unlock 3 unit as a standalone 45-60 minute lesson, or combine two units for a longer project-style session that ends with a short presentation or piece of extended writing. For general guidance on supporting upper-intermediate learners through this stage, see this Cambridge overview of the four-skills approach, which pairs well with the integrated skills focus of Unlock 3. Whichever format you choose, keeping all four skills tied to one topic is what makes Unlock 3 an effective bridge toward upper-intermediate fluency.
