Korea TESOL
Lesson Conceptualization
• Aims/Objectives – Why are you teaching this class?– Linguistic– Content– Other
Purpose of the Lesson Plan
• a clear working document, another teacher could pick up it and use
• Coverage of subject matter– Comprehensive– Organized
• Cohesion & Variety• Inter-lesson consistency?• Exploitation of materials
Pre-Planning (Harmer, 1983)
Lesson Development Framework1. Identify the specific
course & group of students to teach.
2. Identify the content to be utilized.
3. Identify why the students should care.
4. Identify the specific “leaning ojective.”
5. Develop/locate an exemplar text.
6. Design student re-sponses to the text.
7. Students check their own work, and of their peers.
8. Groupwork.9. Students create
new stories / end-ings, and tell groupmates.
10.Testing.

IDC
• Introduction(Less than 5 minutes)
• Development
• Consolidation
Test-Teach-Test
• Pre-test (Do I need to teach this?)– Eliciting – “Who knows this?”– “Mini-Task”– How well do they know this (comparison)?
• Teach(Method not specified)
• Post-Test (assess Learners & Lesson)– Did they learn – Do I need to re-teach?
OHE (M. Lewis)
• Observe(read or listen to language) which will then provoke them to
• Hypothesizeabout how the language works before going on to
• Experimenton the basis of that hypothesis
Deep-end Strategy (K. Johnson)
• Turn PPP, etc on its head– Encouraging the students into immedi-
ate production– Followed by instruction (as needed)
• The extreme --Set a task andask students toperform.
Other Elements to consider• Warmer • Review last
class• Elicitation• Check Home-
work• Peer-Coaching• Extension
• Homework As-signment
• Review this class
• Preview next class
• Fillers• Wind-down
Classroom Tools
• Visual Aids (more than powerpoint)– visual impact– helpful– replace words– fun– show students you under-
stand their difficulties• Multimedia & Audio Aids
Instructional Techniques
• Consciousness-Raising – Activities
• Teacher (or Learner) -driven
– Drawing awareness to– Language properties– for FUTURE noticing
• Noticing– Where “input” may become
“intake”
Features of a Lesson Plan• Aims• Timing• Stages (Phases)• Motivations• Teacher does• Learners do• Assumptions• Classroom Setting
• Materials needed– Book/handouts– Visuals/realia– Audio/multimedia
• Classroom setting• Number of learners• Anticipated
– Problems– Outcomes
Other Considerations
• Learner Focus– not just “teaching steps”
• Interactions– T-Ss, S-S, Ss-Ss(4s)…
• Recent Work• Share aims and usefulness (and
steps? with the learners?• Instructional Scripts

Homework

Purpose
Major Aims of Homework
• Pre-Classroom (Preparation)• Time Expansion• Reinforcement• Assessment• Discovery• Subject Expansion• Expected (Busywork)
BUT…
• Do all students do as expected?• CAN all students do as expected?• Adding work to the teacher?• Are outcomes as expected?• See “Flipped” for another perspective
AssessmentMore questions than
answers
Defining Assessment
Opening Quiz!Rank the following in determining student grades.__ performance (as indicated in formal tests, quizzes, etc)__ (oral) participation in class__ improvement over the course__ behavior in class__ effort__ motivation__ assignments__ punctuality and attendance__ intuitive, informal assessments of class performance (Most important = 1, Least/Not important = 9)
Learning Objectives
Bloom’s Taxonomy
Learning Objectives
What are we testing?
• Overall English– competence? proficiency? skill?
• Mastery of course content• Needs of students• Improvements during the course• Teaching performance• Coursebook / Curriculum
Mandatory Grade Distributions
Oral & Written test forms
