When planning a lesson, teachers should not worry about scripting out what they will say but should focus on the overall objectives and which activities can help students attain them. It's important to be flexible, as different classes may need or want to spend more time on one part of the lesson, such as a grammar point with which they seem to struggle or an activity they enjoy. Lesson plans are especially useful for beginner teachers, who likely need the structure and reassurance of the plan. Even more experienced teachers can benefit from a lesson plan as it can help keep them on track to complete all goals for the lesson. It's good for all teachers to have something to look back on to remember what they have covered and to find ways of improvement.
In my personal experience, I found scripting out general instructions to have been very helpful when I first started teaching. I didn't yet have the ability to speak simply without having previously thought of what I should say to the students. I think a lot of ESL teachers find that their normal level of speech is much too difficult for their students. It can be hard to adjust one's level of speaking when one has spent one's life speaking with other native English speakers!
