Lesson Planning

To plan a lesson is similar to the processes of cooking a recipe, planning a party or a graduation. All of the before mentioned require to consider three basic aspects: Intended audience, age, and aim. Once these aspects are considered, we move on to prepare all the elements and details for offering our audience a good learning experience. It should be noted that the most important component of a lesson plan is the learning aim, thus, in this planning, we have to select, make decisions, organise and follow a series of procedures that permit us to reach such goal.

Planning a lesson can be simple and enjoyable. We only have to imagine we are preparing a great party in which all the guests will be delighted on learning English and will activate their communicative competences and improve their five skills (listening, reading, writing, speaking and interacting with culture). Then, as promised, here there are two presentations that will guide you this process:



Lesson planning is thinking ahead of time and taking into account the communicative competencies, learning aims and leaning factors. A lesson plan is like the score for an orchestra director. Teachers are like directors in a class, and a lesson plan is like the tool we have in our hands to guide the EFL learners' orchestra. Just remember that this core can be composed by being a reflective person and by strictly answering to the following sequence of WH- questions: Who? What? How long? Why? How? Where? and When?
