INTRODUCTION
• Session planning is one of the most important and complicated tasks facing the
teacher.
• Good lesson planning will avoid problems and save time, allowing both teacher and
students to know what to do and how to do it so that everything runs smoothly in the
classroom.

WHAT IS A LESSON PLAN?
Cambridge Dictionary defines plan as “vb. to decide what you are going to do or how you are
going to do something”, and a lesson is defined as “n. a period of time when a teacher teaches
people”. (Cambridge Dictionary, 2021).

WHAT IS A LESSON PLAN?
• Unless it is the first time we will teach a particular class or student, we will already know some of these
details;
• Their age,
• Social and cultural background Pre-planning (Harmer, 2001).
• level of the students.
• Before: we can make sure that we are following the syllabus or curriculum and the aims stated for the
lesson.
• During: it will help us check that the timing is correct and that we are following the structure we created
6
PLANNING A LESSON: TYPES OF AIMS
• An Aim is the lesson’s objective, the outcome we want the students to achieve and what we want the students to learn by the
end of the class.
• Procedures are the techniques or activities that we plan in order to achieve our aim and the methods used to carry out these
activities (Sprat, 2005).
• Types of Aims:
• Main Aim: it contains the most important thing that we want our students to learn, or reinforce, always taking into account
7
PLANNING AN INDIVIDUAL LESSON
• Once we have done our pre-planning, and have stablished the aims and procedures, it is the time to
continue planning our lesson.
• Search for or create the activities that we will develop during our class, think of activities for those
students with special needs, etc.
• Flexible and prepared for changes.
• After the class, make some notes on those changes so that you can reuse the lesson plan in the future and
anticipate some of these problems.

PLANNING AN INDIVIDUAL LESSON
11
PLANNING AN INDIVIDUAL LESSON
• Use of language.
• InstrucDons.
• Form of work and grouping.
12
PLANNING AN INDIVIDUAL LESSON
The activities are another of the basic points in all session planning. These should be described in as much
detail as possible, including the materials that both teachers and students will need.
• Reference book (Dictionaries, grammar books...).
• Webpages about English Language Teaching or about any topic that is going to
• be the center of our lesson.
15
REINFORCEMENT AND EXTRA MATERIALS
• It is a great idea to have always some extra
materials prepared, activities or games that you
know that can work well in your class or in any
situation.
• These activities should be easy or challenging, as
long as they are engaging for your students. They
can function as time fillers.
This pattern (presentation, processing information and closure) should be carried out in most of our
activities, so that the students can recognize it, and get to know what comes next.
