12. Lesson plans must involve a unifying theme, an
overall general …………. to accomplish by the end of
the lesson period. They must include clear statements
of what learners will be able to do by the end of the
lesson. These derive from the ………… that gives a
general direction for planning our teaching.

17. Aims (stage aims): What is to be taught?
Decide on the main teaching point. This may be a new structure
(pattern). If so, isolate the use (or uses) to be focused on. list the forms that
are to be included.
Which stage of practice is to be attempted with the
patterns you isolated ?
Choose a suitable situation or situations for the activities you have in mind. If the
situation is already determined by your textbook, think of ways of setting or
introducing this situation.

18. Aims of stages may take
The following forms:
To present and provide practice of the use of 'for' and 'since' with the present
perfect.
To check that learners understand the concept and form of the new item.

stage aims

20. Activities: What to do in the lesson?
Plan the stages to be followed in introducing and practicing the main
teaching point(s), bearing in mind what you have decided in 'Aims'.
Calculate the timing of these stages. Is there too much for
your lesson? Is there time left over?
Logical sequencing

21. Procedures & (interaction/focus) who does what?
T = teacher
S = an individual student
T – C = the teacher working with the whole class
S,S,S = students working on their own
S-S = students working in pairs
SS-SS = pairs of students in discussion with other pairs
GG = students working in groups

Planning is good, but what if a zealous
conversation comes out of the blue ?
Problems we hadn’t anticipated. e.g: vocabulary input .
No lesson, even if prepared carefully, works exactly
As planned.

33. PPU
33

34. PPU (Presentation, Practice, Use)
A framework for designing “speaking” lessons for
example. It helps create lessons that are organized,
coherent, and lead to a clear lesson objective.
34

35. The stages of a framework in this way are:
• Present - During this phase, Ss understand the context being
used, the form, meaning and use of the vocabulary, function(s),
pronunciation point or grammar, and/or the speaking skills
(stating an opinion, pausing while speaking, interrupting, etc.),
which are the focus of the lesson. (Awareness)
35

36. • Practice - Ss practice the speaking skills and/or the language
component of the lesson by doing tasks which
are designed to help Ss increase their accuracy or
correctness
move from Ss’ having no choice of what to say (repetition or
drills) to more, but still limited, choice of the form, meaning, or
use of the skill or language they use in the activity. (Accuracy)
36

37. Use - Students use the language or skill to
complete a communicative task similar to an
activity they will or may do outside the
classroom. (Fluency)
37

38. PDP
38

39. The PDP Framework
Delivers effective listening, video and reading lessons.
Motivates, engages and makes active before, while and
after listening to, watching or reading a text.
39

40. The stages of the framework are:
Pre Ss prepare to listen:
Ø they understand what they will listen or read for in the
text before they begin working with it
Ø they can make predictions about what the text will be
about.
40

41. During Ss focus their attention on the listening or
reading text and complete tasks which develop and
deepen their understanding of the text progressively (i.e.,
from simpler and more general to more complex and
more specific). They can also do tasks that help them
develop specific listening and reading skills.
41

42. Post Ss extend and integrate the
understanding and knowledge they gained
from working with the listening or reading text
into other skills areas or contexts.
