Lesson planning
Before we teach a lesson we need to decide
-what the goals or aims of the lesson are
-what resources to use: a coursebook or textbook, handouts or
worksheets, posters, recorded material, etc.
-which types of activities the learners will do
-how the learners will interact with you and each other
-the sequence of activities
-the timing and pacing
-how best to use the classroom
Aims depend on –the learner’s level, the class profile, their needs, What types of learners are they,their interests, their motivation, the number of learners, attendance, assumed knowledge, anticipated problems.
Language aims, skills aims, subsidiary aims
Activities : dancing, moving hands or legs, moving around the
classroom,choosing items, colouring items, cutting things up , making something , matching items, ordering items.
Interaction patterns: teacher to whole class, teacher to individual learner in open class,
Teacher to individual learner, learner to learner in open class, pair work, group work, melee
Types of questions: open questions(when, where), closed questions(yes or no).
A lesson in three stages: the opening,

A tip on working with lesson plans- be prepared for change
No matter how well planned a lesson is, it can always go differently in the classroom
–Sometimes learners will take more time or less time for an activity than you thought, because it’s more interesting, difficult, etc.
-You or the learners may come up with a new idea for an activity.
-The learners might know more about the language than you anticipated so you have to move on to the middle stage more quickly.
-the learners ask lots of questions which are related to the lesson and are
enjoying interacting with you.
-the learners struggle with the skills activity, for example, the listening text is more difficult than you thought and you have to replay the tape several
times.。
