The Basics Of Joining

1. Why should I join the Premium site?
Well, the reasons are too many to go into here, so we have prepared a Why Join page for you to see the many reasons why signing up for a Premium subscription makes sense.

We have been providing ESL materials to thousands of teachers since 2001. We are a site that has earned the trust of the ESL community through hard work and dedication to the communicative teaching of English. If you would like to know more about us, read our "About Us" page.

2. How can I join the Premium site?
Simply go to our Sign Up page, fill out the form you find there and that's it! Nothing could be simpler. You will gain instant access to the excellent handouts on the Premium site

We offer two methods of payment, either using 2Checkout or PayPal.com (that both securely process all credit card payments) or, should you not have access to a credit card, Offline Payment enabling you to send either a bank transfer or check.

3. How much does membership cost?
We have six levels of membership plus the possibility of just purchasing the site CD.

	6 Months	12 Months	Download	Lifetime Membership
School Membership Senior Membership Standard Membership CD only eBook	- $35 $25 - -	$149 $49 $40 - -	- - - $25 $45	- $99 - - -

Senior Membership includes a download of the CD of the main esl-lounge.com site.
Standard Membership does not include the site CD.
Lifetime Membership, as you would expect, gives you permanent membership of the Premium site - and the esl-lounge eBook too. This fantastic 600 page eBook includes all Premium materials together in a user-friendly PDF format.
We also offer a "CD only" option which would give you a download of the main site CD, but not Premium access.
The eBook includes over 600 pages of Premium materials in one place, in both PDF and editable MS Word formats. For more on the eBook, go to our eBook page.

This compares very favorably with membership prices at comparable sites - many offering membership for $70-80 a year.

To read in more detail about which membership is best for you, see our Which Membership page.

4. How long does membership to esl-lounge.com Premium last?
You can choose to become a member of the Premium site for either six or twelve calendar months - or sign up to our Lifetime Membership.

5. Can't I join just for a month?
Some sites offer their members the chance to become members for as little as a month.

In our view, this is only giving you a mere "snapshot" of their sites. With the longer memberships on offer as esl-lounge.com Premium, you not only benefit from the many materials on the site now but also ALL the materials that we will be adding over the next 12 months, something you wouldn't get if you signed up for a "here today, gone tomorrow" four-week membership. For the same reason, we don't allow users to sign up and then cancel membership a week later. This is not possible on a site based on downloads for obvious reasons.

We guarantee to add new materials every month, so you know when you sign up that new materials will have been added whilst you are a member.

6. How do I cancel membership auto-renewal?
The six-month Standard and Senior memberships auto-renew after six months. If you paid with PayPal, you can cancel this by logging into your PayPal account. If you paid using 2Checkout, get in touch with us at the site to cancel this automatic membership renewal.

Deciding To Join

1. Can I see examples of the handouts on offer before I sign up?
Of course you can. We would never expect you to sign up without first seeing what was on offer. We have set up a page of free samples so you can see the high quality of handouts that is on offer for our Premium members. Access the free samples page here.

2. How often will you add new materials to the Premium site?
This is one of the great strengths of esl-lounge.com Premium. It is a living, growing site. Too many paid subscription sites get together a collection of 50 handouts and then the site withers on the vine. At esl-lounge.com Premium, we give you a guarantee concerning new handouts: we will add at least four to six new handouts every month to the site. If you sign up for a 12-month Standard or Senior membership account, there will be at least 70 full lesson plans added to the site in the time your membership is running.

If you want to see in black and white our record of adding new materials, simply go and check out our new materials page.
