Unit 5 LESSON PLANNING
Functions of lesson planning
1. An aid to planning – think logically through the stages in relation to available time.
2. A working document – helps to keep on target, something to refer to,
3. A record of what has been done in class and what materials have been used. Or another teacher taking over is easier.
Basic principles of lesson planning
• Keep it simple
• Do not try to script the lesson.
• Structure it and keep the same structure
• Write the time for each activity
• Check for balance of skills to have a smooth flow.
• Keep it flexible and open to changes.
Being organised – have a lesson plan, check for materials needed and they work, arrange the seating, clean board, break the ice.
Lesson plans should include: learner objectives, personal aims, language point, teaching aids, anticipate problems, procedure/ activities used, phase – ESA, timing, interaction (T-S or S-S), class level, number of students, date & time, observations.
