MODULE 2

Lesson planning

Achieve aims, objectives When a teacher succeeds in teaching what he/she has planned to teach.

Aim What the teacher tries to achieve in the lesson or course. The main aim is the most important aim, e.g. the teacher’s main aim in a lesson could be to teach the present perfect in the situation of travel. A subsidiary aim is the secondary focus of the lesson, less important than the main aim. It could be the language or skills students must be able to use well in order to achieve the main aim of the lesson or a skill or language area which is practised while focusing on the main aim. A personal aim is what the teacher would like to improve on in his/her teaching, e.g. To reduce the time I spend at the whiteboard.

Analyse language To think about language, e.g. what the form of the structure is and why it is being used in this way in this situation.

Anticipate language problems When teachers are planning a lesson, they think about what their students might find difficult about the language in the lesson so that they can help them learn more effectively at certain points in the lesson.
