Lesson Planning:

Key Aspects and


Considerations
What is Lesson
Planning?
A structured process of
organizing teaching objectives,
activities, and materials.
Helps ensure a logical flow of the
lesson and better student
engagement.
Allows teachers to anticipate
challenges and prepare solutions.
Enhances student learning by
setting clear goals and
expectations.
Teaching Contexts: Where and How English is Taught

EFL (English as a Foreign Language):


Students learn English for international communication, often to travel, access media, or broaden
job opportunities.
Typically taught in countries where English is not the primary language.
Can be in settings like schools, language institutes, or private tutoring.
The focus is often on general language skills, including speaking, listening, reading, and writing, in a
non-native environment.
ESL (English as a Second Language):
English is learned to live, study, or work in an English-speaking country, making it the primary
language of interaction in daily life.
Commonly found in countries like the United States, the UK, Canada, Australia, where English is
spoken natively.
ESL programs are tailored to help individuals integrate into society, both socially and professionally.
Focus areas often include practical, functional language skills for living in the target country, such
as understanding laws, managing finances, or engaging in workplace communication.
Other Contexts:
Business English: English used in a corporate or professional setting,
focusing on communication for work-related tasks like meetings,
presentations, and negotiations.
Medical English: Specialized English for healthcare professionals,
covering medical terminology, patient communication, and professional
documentation.
CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning): Teaching
academic subjects (such as history, science, or math) in English, where
students learn both the content of the subject and English at the same
time. This method is common in bilingual education programs or in
countries where English is a foreign language.
Syllabus and Curriculum: What to
Teach
- A syllabus is a structured list of topics and
language points to be covered in a course.
- A curriculum is broader and includes
learning goals, methods, and assessments.
- Types of syllabuses:
Grammar-based (e.g., tenses, sentence
structure)
Topic-based (e.g., sports, environment)
Functional (e.g., making requests, giving
advice)
Situational (e.g., at a restaurant, at the
airport)
- Most modern courses use a mix of these
approaches.
Understanding Student Needs: Why
Students Learn English

- Lessons should be tailored to students’ goals


and preferences.
- Ways to assess student needs:
Surveys and interviews.
Self-assessment checklists (e.g., ‘Can do’
statements).
Continuous feedback during the course.
- Challenges:
Large class sizes make individualization
difficult.
Mixed-ability groups require differentiated
instruction.

Technology in
Lesson Planning
How Resources Affect Lessons
The resources in a classroom
influence how lessons are planned.
Teachers need to use what they have
to create engaging and effective
lessons.
High-Tech Classrooms
Modern classrooms use:
Smartboards for interactive
lessons.
Online platforms for extra practice.
Multimedia like videos and
animations to make learning fun.
Teacher Beliefs and Teaching
Approaches

Teaching methods influence lesson


planning and classroom dynamics.
Common approaches:
Communicative Language
Teaching (CLT): Focus on real-life
communication.
Task-Based Learning (TBL):
Students complete meaningful
tasks.
Grammar-Translation Method:
Traditional approach focused on
accuracy.
- Teachers' personal experiences
shape their approach to teaching.
The Role of Coursebooks in Lesson
Planning

- Coursebooks provide a structured


syllabus and graded exercises.
- Benefits:
Ensures coverage of key language skills
(grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation,
etc.).
Helps maintain consistency across
classes.
- Challenges:
Can be rigid and may not cater to all
student needs.
Teachers often supplement with
additional materials for engagement.
Lesson Structure: How to Organize a
Lesson

A well-structured lesson typically follows these stages:


1. Warm-up: Icebreakers and quick activities to engage students.
2. Presentation: Introduce new concepts or language points.
3. Practice: Exercises and pair/group work to reinforce learning.
4. Production: Real-life applications like role-plays or discussions.
5. Conclusion: Review of key points and feedback.
- Flexibility is key – teachers should adapt based on student responses .
