    Lesson Plan

     Class debates
     Creating role-plays and acting them out for others
     Games focusing on communication skills
     Essay writing

    During the free practice section, take note of common mistakes. Use feedback to help everyone, rather
    than focus on individual students. 

    This lesson plan format is popular for many reasons, including:

     Students have a number of chances to learn a concept through various means.


     Students have plenty of time to practice.
     Teachers can give detailed instruction, or students can deduce structures and learning points
    through practice.
     The standard lesson plan format provides structure.
     The lesson provides for variation over the course of 60 to 90 minutes.
     This lesson plan format moves from teacher-centered to student-centered learning.

    Variations on the Lesson Plan Format Theme

    In order to keep this standard lesson plan format from becoming boring, it is important to remember that
    there are a number of variations that can be applied to the various segments of the lesson plan format.

    Warm-up: Students might arrive late, tired, stressed or otherwise distracted to class. In order to get their
    attention, it's best to open with a warm-up activity. The warm-up can be as simple as telling a short story
    or asking students questions. The warm-up can also be a more thought-out activity, such as playing a song
    in the background or drawing an elaborate picture on the board. While it's fine to start a lesson with a
    simple "How are you," it's much better to tie your warm-up into the theme of the lesson.

    Presentation: The presentation can take a variety of forms. Your presentation should be clear and
    straightforward to help students understand new grammar and forms. Here are a few suggestions on how
    to present new materials to the class:

     Reading selection
     Soliciting students' knowledge about a specific point
     Teacher-centered explanation
     Listening selection
     Short video
     Student presentation

    The presentation should include the main "meat" of the lesson. For example, If you are working
    on phrasal verbs, make the presentation by reading something that's peppered with phrasal verbs.

    Controlled practice: This section of the lesson provides students with direct feedback on their
    comprehension of the task at hand. Generally, a controlled practice involves some type of
    exercise.  Controlled practice should help the student focus on the main task and provide them with
    feedback — either from the teacher or the other students.

    Free practice: This integrates the focus structure, vocabulary, and functional words and phrases into
    students' overall language use. Free practice exercises often encourage students to use the target language
    structures in:
    Lesson Plan

     Small group discussions


     Written work (paragraphs and essays)
     Listening comprehension practice
     Games

    The most important aspect of free practice is that students should be encouraged to integrate language
    learned into larger structures. This requires more of a "stand-off" approach to teaching. It's often useful to
    circulate around the room and take notes. Students should be allowed to make more mistakes during this
    part of the lesson.

    Utilizing Feedback

    Feedback allows students to check their understanding of the lesson's topic and can be done quickly at the
    end of the class by asking students questions about the target structures. Another approach is to have
    students discuss the target structures in small groups, once again giving students the chance to improve
    understanding on their own.

    In general, it is important to use this lesson plan format to facilitate students' English learning. The more
    opportunities for student-centered learning, the more students acquire language skills for themselves.
