Lesson Planning

Lesson Planning

4/6/2014

  Before we teach, we should decide what  goals or  aims of the lesson are. Aims depend on the level of the learners, their needs, their interest, their motivation and the number of the students. The language aims focus on vocabulary, function and grammar and the subsidiary aims are skills that the learners practise which the teacher does not specifically concentrating on. There must some activities which require the learners to listen, speak, read and write. The teacher should consider two types of questions which are open questions and closed questions. In addition to that, he must know who is he going to ask. The lesson must be linked to the previous lesson and the next lesson.         

Lesson planning, key points.

Today I am going to write some points that I find crucial and relevant to my students.

1- planning helps you to be confident in the classroom because you always know your next step.

2- you should specify your goals according to students need. They should be involved in the planning.

3- It is always a good idea to plan for your lesson with another teacher this would be inspiring.

4- you should be ready to change you aims of any lesson according to the circumstances (zero option).

5- It is not always important to stick to the written form of your plans. Students sometimes have other aims that they want to achieve and as teacher you should take that into special consideration.

Best regards,
