Introduction: definition of a lesson plan●It can be simple as a mental checklist
●or as a complex as a detailed two-page typed lesson plan.
Definition of a lesson plan. Cont●A lesson plan is an extremely useful tool that serves as
a combination guide, resource, and historical
document reflecting our teaching philosophy and our
goals for our students
●Lesson plans are particularly important for newly
teachers and beneficial for those teachers who have
been teaching for years.
Why we plan?●When teachers are preparing a lesson plan they
have to bear in mind the basic components:
1. what to teach,
2. in what order
3. and for how much time.
●A lesson plan is also a valuable and useful resource
in doing different things.
What are they??
●As teachers expect students to come to class
prepare to learn is necessary to provide the example
and come to class to teach.
Macro planning vs. micro planning
lesson planning should be done at two levels: macro planning and micro planning.
Macro planning is planning over time, for instance, the planning for a month, a term, or the whole course.
Micro planning is planning for a specific lesson, which usually lasts 40 or 50 minutes.
Micro planning should be based on macro planning, and macro planning is apt to be modified as lessons go on
When and how we plan?●To make an appropriate lesson plan teachers
need to develop a macro and micro planning.
●When the texts and the syllabus have been
selected, the next step would be the planning
for the year or term.
●It’s a great idea that newly teachers consult
their colleagues and supervisors about those
designs.
What a lesson plan looks like?●There is not only a specific way in creating
a lesson plan. It depends on the teacher’s
preferences and experiences.
●When creating a lesson, a teacher must
consider different aspects of lesson
planning. What are they?
First, the beginning
●The majority of the plans start with a description of
the class and students.
●Teachers also find important to note what they
have explained and what will be necessary to be
explained for a future particular lesson.
●Goals and objectives need to be included. Lesson
goals are most usefully stated in terms of what
students will have done or accomplished at the end
of the lesson. Stating goals in this way allows both
teacher and learners to know when the goals have
been reached.
●Teachers should pay attention in noting any
homework so that later they can collect them and
return to their students at the right time.
How to set Lesson Goals?
1.Identify a topic for the lesson. The topic is not a goal, but it will help you develop your goals. 2.Identify specific linguistic content, such as vocabulary and points of grammar or language use, to be introduced or reviewed. 3.Identify specific communication tasks to be completed by students. 4.Identify specific learning strategies to be introduced or reviewed in connection with the lesson. 5.Create goal statements for the linguistic content, communication tasks, and learning strategies that state what you will do and what students will do during the lesson.
Second, the middle
●It refers to the lesson’s content. This includes all
the activities carrying out during a lesson, time
management and class management.
For the presentation and practice stages is
necessary to begin with a diagnostic activity.
Then, the teacher have to bear in mind how to
connect those previous activities with the new
ones and how these activities could motivate the
students.
Lastly, the teacher should evaluate if students
have learned all the new material.
● Time management can be unpredictable both for novice
teachers and the experienced ones because they cannot
anticipate how long an activity will take.
● In one hand, activities are underestimated in terms of
length. Here, the teacher have to decide what part of the
lesson should be skipped, shortened or saved for the next
class.
● On the other hand activities are overestimated.
Generally, newly teachers become very nervous when
they have ten minutes left with nothing to do.
● Seating arrangements before help the teacher to save
time because it’s more efficient than moving students
around randomly.
Third, the end
●a lesson plan contains some comments that
end the lesson. For instance; a review of the
lesson and the homework for the next class.
In conclusion, in order to make a successful
lesson plan, teachers have to take into account
the principles of second language learning and
teaching and the needs of students and the
institution.
Project
Part 1:
Write a lesson plan that demonstrates your
knowledge about the following:
●Foreign language acquisition
●Learning styles and strategies
●Planning lessons
Part 2:
Prepare a presentation explaining the process of
preparing your lesson plan which would include
the following:
●How you chose your lesson
●How you formed your objectives
●How you planned your classroom setting
●How your activities relate to your objectives
●How you plan to assess your students to check if
they achieved the objectives you set forth
Be prepared to bring copies of your lesson plan
printed for everyone.
