Overview• Lesson Objectives• TBLT vs. PPP Lesson Planning• Lesson Phases• Assessment• Lesson Plan Samples Evaluation• Lesson Plan Presentation
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Reflection• What makes a good
lesson or a bad lesson?
• What aspects of lesson planning are the most daunting?
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Lesson Planning "An actual lesson plan is the end point of
many other stages of planning that culminate in a daily lesson."
(Jensen, Linda. "Planning Lessons." 2001)
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Lesson Planning Considerations
• Teaching methodology (TBLT vs. PPP)
• Learner needs• Objectives
• Learner involvement• Materials• Activities• Flexibility• Assessment
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Lesson Planning• Lesson Continuity
– Links or threads connect lessons• Recursiveness/Recycling Material
– Looping back to language features or topics• Depth, not breadth!
– Mastery is the aim, not finishing the book.

Why do we plan?• Forces us to reflect on the lesson’s priorities
and objectives for learning.• Provides a guide to help us stay on track and
manage time.• Provides us with a foundation for refinement
when we reflect later.• Ensures no crucial parts are left out.

Determining Lesson Objectives
• Objective = the end goal of the lesson• What will the students be able to do at the
end of this lesson?• How students can demonstrate that they
have mastered the lesson content.• Not about what or how much material the
teacher covers.
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
SWBAT: Students Will Be Able To…
• Write lesson objectives on the board before class begins.– Clear Objective:
• Students will be able to use the regular form of simple past to describe a workplace accident.
– Unclear Objective:• Students will learn about the simple past.
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Presentation/Pre-Task PhaseWarm up• Settle students into classroom mindset• Review previous lesson material & check
homework• Introduce the focus of the lesson – activating
prior knowledge (schema)
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Presentation/Pre-Task PhaseActivating Schema• Generate interest and motivation for learning• Draw on what students already know, expect,
need, and/or have experienced• Create active learners who can make
connections
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Presentation/Pre-Task Phase• A jumping off point.• Present an authentic situation, picture, piece
of realia, reading text, dialogue, video • A good language presentation uses authentic
language to participate in an authentic communicative event
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Presentation/Pre-Task Phase (cont.)
• Solve a real-world problem.• Provide samples or elicit production of the
language feature.• Should be relevant to students’ needs =
interesting.
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Presentation/Pre-Task Phase• Scaffold activity/task for students to discover
the target feature on their own and use it to solve a problem.
• Engage students in hypothesis testing.• Build students’ confidence that they can
“figure it out.”
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Presentation/Pre-Task Phase (cont.)
• Gives students a framework/rules to refer to during practice activities.
• Use a model or diagram.
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Practice/Task Phase (cont.)
• Activities should:– Promote students to generate the target
feature– Move learners towards meeting the lesson
objectives– Enable students to use language in real-
world situations
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Practice/Task Phase (cont.)
• Activities should:– Build upon each other – from easier to
harder– Involve genuine communication– Be varied and allow for choice– Allow learners to demonstrate mastery
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Controlled & Communicative Activities
Controlled Communicative• Restricted use• Comprehension & accuracy• Feedback & correction during
• Authentic use• Fluency and extension• Feedback & correction
afterward• Repetition/drills• Scripted role plays• Cloze activities
• Role plays• Surveys• Information gap tasks
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Assessment• Most common at the end of a lesson in PPP.• Build assessment at the end of each activity,
as in TBLT.• Assessment helps you to determine:
– Did learners master the lesson objectives?– Whether to move forward or spend more time on
the target feature (a.k.a. Depth, not breadth).
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Assessment (cont.)
• Homework– Dual function: student practice & extension and
teacher assessment– Connect to your lesson objectives– Allow class time to explain instructions– Extend to real-world activities
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Time Management• Before the Lesson Begins:
– Create class routines– Estimate time for each phase of the lesson.– Have an extra activity for early finishers.– Decide what you could teach next time if going
over.– Plan transitions/links between activities.– Plan a variety of pair and group work.
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Time Management (cont.)
• During the Lesson:– Start and end on time!– Watch your pacing – compare planned to actual
time.– Tell students how much time they have for each
activity & give warnings.– Be flexible
• Skip, shorten, or save for the next class.• Don’t miss those “teachable moments.”
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Time Management (cont.)
• Allow for:– Transition time & moving into groups– Summarizing what’s been covered in class– Wrap-up and homework phase
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Sample Lesson Plans• In pairs…
– Review sample lesson plans against the lesson planning rubric.
– Discuss what rating you would give each lesson plan.
– Discuss ways to improve the lesson plan.
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Put it into Practice• Create a 60 minute lesson plan to teach:
– A language function or grammar point– A primary & secondary skill
• Speaking & listening or Reading & writing
• Organize your lesson using an SLA methodology (TBLT or PPP).
• List lesson objectives.
www.nvcc.edu/workforcewww.nvcc.edu/workforce
Put it into Practice (cont.)
• Include three phases: – Presentation/Pre-task – Practice & Perform/Task– Assessment/Post -Task
• Identify a time estimate for each activity.• Present your lesson plan to the class.• Incorporate feedback and email to:
