topic. A typical DLP contains the following parts:
• OBJECTIVES (a. Content Standard, b. Performance Standard, c. LC)
• CONTENT
• LEARNING RESOURCES
• PROCEDURES (Before: a. Motivation; During: b. Analysis – Qs, Activity, Valuing,
Application, Evaluation; After: Assignment)
• ASSIGNMENT
• REMARKS
• REFLECTION

18. ON WRITING LESSON PLAN
WHAT IS A LESSON PLAN?
A guide that a teacher prepares to carry out
a lesson along a specific learning objective

19. LEARNING DELIVERY
Lesson delivery starts the moment a teacher enters
the classroom and gives lesson instructions. There
should be lots of students’ participation and
involvement with the teacher taking on the role of
monitoring and facilitating most of the times.

20. What are the benefits of effective lesson delivery?
Students are actively engaged in the lesson activities. The
lesson's pace is appropriate to the students' language ability
levels. Effective lesson delivery maximizes students'
understanding, which increases student participation and
enhances the quality of student work.

21. What are the benefits of effective lesson delivery?
There are a multitude of ways to deliver learning
activities and content. The method you use will depend
on who the learners are, how you want them to learn,
where they are, and what you want to teach (the ILOs).
Depending on your cohort and their needs you will need
to select the most appropriate delivery method.

22. HOW TO DELIVER A LESSON TO DIVERSE LEARNERS?
• Effective lesson delivery maximizes students' understanding, which
increases student participation and enhances the quality of student
work.
• Refer to and reinforce content and language objectives explicitly
throughout the lesson.
• Engage students in meaningful activity 90-100% of the lesson.
• Keep the pace of the lesson challenging, but do-able, for all
students. Be mindful that students' comfort level varies in terms of
pace; use appropriate pacing strategies.
