This document discusses key aspects of effective lesson planning for college lecturers. It begins by outlining features of a learning-centered communicative teaching approach and then discusses the importance of lesson plans. Several lesson planning models and components are described, including specifying objectives, anticipating problems, incorporating variety and flexibility. Challenges of lesson planning like workload and restrictions on teacher freedom are also noted. The document encourages selecting lesson plan elements tailored to each teacher's needs and style.

5. What is a lesson plan?
➢A written guide to conduct a learning session
➢A plan for a course of action resulting in learning,
➢Gives specific definition and direction for teaching learning
➢It includes: - Aim & objectives, aids, media, material etc
➢Use of lesson notes

6. Importance of a lesson plan
➢Clear idea on what you want to teach
➢Teaching framework and overall idea
➢Minimises deviations and distractions
➢Makes you more professional
➢Helps time, class and learning management
➢Allows you to track progress (both- Tr’s & lrs’)
➢Unique to each teacher- not one size fits all ( Flanagan, N 2012)
➢Records of your practices

7. Lesson planning for Learners
Learners realize that:
•The teacher cares for their learning
•Teacher has planned meticulously (did HW)
•Their roles and responsibilities as learners
•Structured learning is easy to assimilate
•Easy to check progress

8. Lesson Plan Model-1
Madeline Hunter's Seven Steps
1. Anticipatory Set :(setting the stage) Assumptions and anticipated problems
2. Statement of Aim-Objectives: tell learners what they'll be able to do as a result of
the lesson
3. Instructional Input: Not necessarily a lecture: demo, explanation, instructions
4. Modeling: demonstrate, show what you ask them to do
5. Check for Understanding: watch faces, ask questions, give a quiz/game
6. Guided Practice: helps learners start practising new skills, applying new knowledge
7. Independent Practice: turns them loose to work on their own, homework
assignment, etc.

9. Lesson Plan Model-2
Bloom's Taxonomy and Critical Thinking
Knowledge: Recall
Comprehension: Understand
Application: Use, practice
Analysis: Dissect, generalize
Synthesis: Create, combine
Evaluation: Appraise, value

10. Lesson Plan Model-3
MultipleIntelligences(HowardGardner's7WaysofKnowing)
•Verbal
•Mathematical
•Spatial
•Musical
•Kinesthetic
•Interpersonal
•Intrapersonal

11. Lesson Plan Model-4
InstructionalScaffolding(JeromeBruner;Langer&Applebee)
Ownership: Wish to learn
Appropriateness: Right level
Support : Structured guidance
Collaboration: Coaching
Internalization: Independent practice

12. Lesson Plan Model-5
No Model
OR
An Eclectic Model

14. Other Important Components
Objectives: Focus on A. Skills & Subskills B. Language Functions C. Content/Theme
( Thinking hats?)
Assumptions: Students prior knowledge; Interest in the content; Motivation levels
Anticipated problems:
- Language aspects/elements (VGP)
-Complexities: Linguistic, Cognitive, Content, Cultural
Classroom Discourse: Language to be used for interaction
Questions- Whose?
Quality of feedback or response

15. Key features
Variety: Caters to
-Various learning styles
- Multiple intelligences
- Mixed abilities
- Heterogeneity
- Learning times and moods
Coherence: Logical pattern
Connectivity with previous lessons & Prior knowledge
Flexibility: Eclecticism
Assessment: Ensure learning has taken place in the class ( can be in the form of summing up by lrs, a
small quiz/game and feedback)

16. Smart planning
Anticipated problems
-Timings (30-45-60)
- Technology
- Learners and learning environment
-Challenging levels
- Motivation (content/theme)
Plan A & Plan B
Homework/ Assignments: Flipped?

17. After Math
•Re-view your objectives
•Assessment –evaluation-performance-achievement
•Retrospective/self evaluation reports: Good and bad of the class
•Path for next level objectives

18. Some Limitations/Challenges
•In case Plan-B & Flexibility are absent:
-Helpless when the class calls for a change
•Restricts the teacher’s freedom at times
•Calls for more of teacher’s HW
•Possible that teacher becomes completely reliant on LP
