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.

Not Traditional

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


Korea TESOL

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
