Соursе pаpеr оn developing lesson plans for el classes

Extended Practice
• Provide practice opportunities prior to evaluation.
• Monitor this practice session and give the students feedback.
• Describe how to provide opportunities to practice during and following the lesson.
• Extended practice often takes two forms: 1. Homework 2. Follow-up practice at school.
• Provide a great deal of additional practice in real-world applications.
• Make sure the student can use the lesson learned in various settings.


Lesson Closing
• Review the key points of the lesson.
• Give students opportunities to draw conclusions from the lesson.
• Describe when the students can use this new information.
• Preview future lessons.
• Have students describe their problem-solving process.
• It should be a meaningful end to the lesson.
• This is a time for students to show their work.
• The closing can create a smooth transition from one lesson to the next lesson.
Assessment/Evaluation
• You must evaluate the objectives that were identified.
• Provide students with the opportunity to practice the activity you will be assessing them on.
• Describe the ways you will provide opportunities for the students to practice.
• A clear description of the method that will help you accurately determine whether or not the students have mastered the lesson objective.

III. CONCLUSION
In this course paper, we have examined a number of factors that contribute to the effectiveness of a language lesson. Creating effective language lessons depends upon a number of factors, each of which can play a role in shaping the nature of a lesson. As we have seen here, effective teachers seek to meet high professional standards. In order to achieve this, they draw on their understanding of principles of effective teaching, they set clear outcomes for their lessons and plan their lessons carefully, they make use of strategies to manage their classes so as to facilitate successful teaching and learning, and they seek to make their learners the focus of their lessons.

Since teaching is a very personal activity and the strategies that good teachers use to create effective lessons will depend on a number of factors – such as the type of students the teacher is teaching, the class size, the teacher’s experience and training, and the teacher’s individual teaching style – there are no fixed rules and procedures for achieving successful language lessons. The key issue is the teacher’s active, ongoing involvement and reflection on the processes of teaching and learning, leading to a deeper understanding of the nature of effective teaching and how it can be achieved. We hope that the issues discussed in this booklet will help you reflect on your own teaching beliefs and practices as you engage in the process of planning and teaching effective language lessons.

Teaching is a mechanism that enables knowledge expansion. In order to meet the learning objectives, teaching elements need to be assimilated with the process significantly. Ko (2012) and Jones et al. (2011) emphasized the importance of lesson planning, making it a conspicuous daily routine for teachers. According to Danielson (2011), teachers must have great control over teaching elements. Learning outcomes are feasible when the whole process is controlled competently (Bailey, 2013; Zakaria et al., 2017). Novice ESL teachers must prioritize, combining the teaching input based on the lesson's needs to ensure possible outcomes. Thus, lesson planning for ESL classrooms is considered a complex process for novice ESL teachers (Ab Aziz et al., 2019; Gholam, 2018; Widiati et al., 2018). Despite the complexity, the lesson planning skill and style among novice teachers can be inspired by an organized lesson planning process (Clark & Peterson, 1986).

Preparing lesson plans before lessons are compulsory for teachers regardless of their teaching experience (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 1999; Syed Ali, 2018; Wandberg & Rohwer, 2003). Failure to prepare a lesson plan may influence the teaching quality (Heidari et al., 2015). Ong et al. (2017) asserted that lesson plans need to be planned critically before the lesson to ensure output optimization in becoming an excellent teacher. Exploring a new mechanism, a computer-assisted lesson planning tool, to support teachers' lesson planning process is ideal in catering to novice ESL teachers' needs. Thus, it is essential to explore how novice teachers' current practices can influence their lesson planning system preferences. The findings of this study are crucial in determining the design principle of the new lesson planning system.

A lesson plan is a written description to teach academic content. A lesson plan helps teachers organize their objectives and methodologies A lesson plan determines the purpose, aim, and rational of your class time activity. It also provides focus for the lesson you are presenting. A lesson plan is a fairly detailed plan of instruction. It helps you think through the best way to present the information to the students. You will need to develop clear and specific objectives.

In thinking about questions like these after a particularly successful (or unsuccessful) lesson, it is useful to write a brief report from time to time. This could be either an entry in a teaching journal, a list of key points that you want to

think about further, or annotations to your lesson plan. Whatever method you choose, such lesson reports can serve to trigger a better understanding of what worked well and why, or to prompt you to rethink a teaching strategy if aspects of the lesson did not turn out as well as you expected. Since every lesson you teach has a life of its own, you will often find that even if a lesson worked perfectly on one occasion, teaching it in the same way the next time may not have the same results. Teaching always involves adjusting your lesson plans according to the way the lesson evolves. In other words, it requires you to build a lesson around your plan based on the students’ reactions to the lesson, rather than enacting your lesson plan based on your prior intentions for the lesson.
