Lecture-13: Structure of foreign language lessons and to organize them Organization of foreign language lessons and production of lesson plans on the basis of modern requirements. Plan

Teachers Support Students' Social and Emotional Needs
Get to know your school’s families through home visits. You may join in making these visits, or you may encourage teachers or other school personnel to do so. By meeting families away from school, such as in community centers or in their homes, you may have more success in engaging families (Louie & Knuth, 2016).​
Make sure that all staff members who interact with English learners and their families learn about, acknowledge, and affirm the strengths, capabilities, and contributions made by English learners and their families to your school.
Structure of the EL lesson plan
The details and elements of lesson plans vary, depending on the specific format mandated by a school, lyceum and college. A foreign language lesson should consist of the following steps:
1) Organization moment – when a teacher checks the presence of students, asks the date, day, weather, and other question to open the lesson – usually up to 5 minutes
2) Warming up – any game or revision activity which loads students with a new energy and readiness for a lesson – 5-10 minutes. As the class begins, give students a broad outline of the day’s goals and activities so they know what to expect. Help them focus by eliciting their existing knowledge of the day’s topics.
Use discussion or homework review to elicit knowledge related to the grammar and language use points to be covered. Use comparison with the native language to elicit strategies that students may already be using. Use discussion of what students do and/or like to do to elicit their knowledge of the topic they will address in communication activities
3) Checking home task – individual or frontal – 10-15 minutes.
4) Explaining new material - a teacher explains new grammar rule or topic with the help of board, charts, pictures or other techniques - 15-20 minutes
5) Practice of new material– takes place with the help of text-books, exercises, tasks, questions, debates, etc. – 15-20 minutes
6) Extra class activity - independent work of students when the can demonstrate their integrated skills. For example, a short presentation, dialogue, group work or crossword, game or pair work. - 10-15 minutes
7) Evaluation – evaluation need to be a separate part of a lesson when a teacher concludes the results of students’ success by giving the marks. Evaluation can be oral or in written form and should be just. Motivation is also very important in evaluation as it inspires students for better learning – up to 5 minutes
8) Home task assessment – a teacher should explain home task, write it on the board. The volume of home task depends on the age, level of students and period of time between this lesson and the next one - 2-3 minutes
9) End of the lesson – a teacher and students say ‘good bye’ to each other and the lesson is over.
Unless a specific lesson plan format is required by the learning type of institution, most EL practitioners tailor their lesson plans according to the teaching philosophies or techniques they believe in or are most comfortable with.
