plan for teaching a lesson of a specific topic of the syllabus.

Lesson PlanWhat Is A Lesson Plan? A lesson plan is a teacher's plan for teaching a

lesson. It can exist in the teacher's mind, on the back of an

envelope, or on one or more beautifully formatted sheets of A4 paper.

Its purpose is to outline the "programme" for a single lesson. That's why it's called a lesson plan.

It helps the teacher in both planning and executing the lesson.

And it helps the students to learn some specific thing that they didn't know at the beginning of the lesson (or practise and make progress in that specific thing).

Questions and answers used to elicit conversation using the new structure and function; to show examples of what your students will learn in this lesson.

Presentation In the presentation you do about

75% of the speaking. You are presenting new concepts,

modeling vocabulary/structure/function, etc. to the class. Use the white board, OHP, LCD in focus!

Practice Students speak about 60% of the time,

you 40%, modeling of vocabulary, dialogue, pronunciation, intonation, etc.

A practice exercise is used for individual/pair/group work that is monitored by you.

Practice is done by the students at their desks.

Production Students speak, write, listen and practice

what they have learned. Students speak 90% of the time, you 10% -

only to correct if necessary. A production exercise is given – generally

not the same sheet of exercise/activity that was done in the practice section.

Student has freedom to produce what thay want to say based on the lesson they have learned.
