Lesson Plan

1. What is a lesson plan?

Lesson plan acts as a note to remind trs what they should or could do next in the classroom. It can help inexperienced trs to perform perfectly, just as experienced one.  

2. What should go into an Eng language lesson?

Numerous info could b eveloped into lesson plan, say, classrom tasks, lg focus, alloted time, etc. It would be variant on the ground of teachers’ experience. For instance, inexperienced trs need explicit lesson plans whereas experienced ones may merely need simplified editions.

3. Why is planning important?

 Without the plan, the teaching would be loose. Also, trs might forget to mention important points.

4.What r principles of planning?

For me, I would say clearness. As what has mentioned above, there’s no specific ans to the question what standardized lesson plan format or genre is. Hence, the clearness is the most principle.

Q2: What other questions do u think r important to ask about teaching?

Written error correction has attracted tons of researchers’ attention. So far, the ans still remains obscure. In my experience, the efficiency of written error correction is quite low, even tho I’m sure that r  so-call ‘mistakes’ not ‘errors’. However, to satisfy our Ss, correction is inevitable. What I’m doing now, hence,  is to provide both gr & content feedback.

Q1: Which of the these approaches do u hope will have more influence on ur teaching in future?

To facilitate my teaching, I’ll recruit variant approaches but all should b used with meaningful contexts. For ex, task-based instruction could make Ss learn gr by using it & lead Ss to see the reason why we need to learn lg. Also, I believe, a good tr should choose certain approaches accroding to individuals’ needs & differences. Take ESP learners as an ex. They won’t b satisfied with the gr translation method, for they have set their  goals, that is, to communicate in the target lg.

Dear all,

My name is Julia (康雅禎). I’ve been teaching English for more than 6 yrs. I enjoy teaching a lot cuz I can learn tons of things from both students & teaching itself. Also, I like reading literature on TESOL, in particular Cognitive Linguistics, for I could equip my teaching methods with the theoretical rationale. I believe we could be good English teachers only after we know how students learn English.
