A training and workshop was held on planning middle school lesson plans. The agenda included an opening session, powerpoint presentation, feedback discussion, workshop to plan four levels of lessons, further feedback, and a closing session. The document also included lessons on delivering lessons through experience, the components of an effective lesson plan including objectives, procedures and competencies, and frameworks for teaching listening, reading, grammar and writing. Key aspects of each stage of a lesson such as pre, during and post activities were also outlined.

Experience

10. A lesson plan is a teacher's detailed description
of the course of instruction for one class.
A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to
guide class instruction.
Details will vary depending on the preference of
the teacher, subject being covered, and the need
and/or curiosity of students.
There may be requirements mandated by the
school system regarding the plan.

11. 1.Teachers should prepare a lesson plan before
teaching.
2.Teachers should consider learners’ abilities,
interests, learning preferences, and the
institutional program while planning.
3.Teacher should analyze their lesson plans
before and after teaching.
4.Lesson plans should include specific
information.
5.Objectives should concretely state the
communicative objectives of the lesson.

12. Before planning, teachers should know what
they are teaching and why.
Lessons should focus on helping learners develop
communication skills – not finishing the curriculum,
memorizing grammar rules or learning to transcribe
words.
They should consider learners’ ability, age,
learning preferences, interests, available
resources, previously taught information and the
institutional program.

15. time Interactio
n
procedure competency VAKT
Time = is very important , teachers should master that .
Interaction = In order to avoid TTT ( Teacher Talking Time) and split the role
among his or her learners
Procedure = here the teachers plans his or her lesson with different stages
& steps.
Competency = Since we are dealing with CBA < Competency Based Approach>
teachers must know when his or her learners perform the
“3IIP”{ Interact – Interpret – Produce}
VAKT = Visual Auditory Kinesthetic Tactile = Teachers must know which
kind of aids must be used at any stage of teaching.

16. 1.In all lessons there is a prep to teaching (
icebreakers/ games/ warmers/ lead
in
2. while lesson which is split into
presentation and practice/ others will
refer to observation / analysis and
practice , in case it is a grammar /
vocabulary lesson .
3.The post lesson is the productive
stage.

17. Teaching Frameworks
 4 ps= Preparation – presentation – practice – produce / 3
ps= presentation – practice – produce
 PPU = Presentation – practice – Use /ju:s/ < Speaking
( grammar ) lesson>
 PDP = Pre( reading/listening) During (reading/listening )
Post ( reading /listening)
 PIASP( grammar or pronunciation item) P= presentation / I=
Isolation / A = Analysis/ S= Stating rule / P= Practice (Oral
or Written = 3 type of tasks < 1- based form 2- Meaning
based 3- communicative based
 Teaching Writing= writing process= Problem solving
integrating situation= a- Brainstorming b- planning or
organizing c- drafting d- editing e- publishing

19. ice- breaker, warmer and lead in are nearly the same there is a slight
difference but all serve one objective is to get the learner ready and ease
for the learning sequence :
1- Icebreakers are discussion questions or activities used to help participants relax and
ease into a group meeting or learning situation.. The icebreakers can be used to generate
interest in a topic and activate the student’s prior knowledge.
2- Lead-ins (topic) Topic Lead-ins will direct the student into the content that will be
taught and encourage the sharing of information and resource.
3- Warmers are usually fun activities that focus on fluency practice. Ideally, warmers
should only last a few minutes, while a warmer is usually has no direct relationship to the
REST of the lesson, a lead-in is a quick preview of the material that will be covered in
class. both lean in and warmer have their strengths. A fun, breezy warmer can add a bit
of variety to a lesson, and might appeal to students who like a change of pace. On the
other hand, a lead-in is a better choice for a more cohesive lesson. This is particularly
important with beginning level students, who need a lot of structure and repetition. Sorry
fro being a bit long.

20.  Warm-up : The lesson usually begins with a warm-up, built
around a visual aid, « to expand students’ vocabulary »
  Students :
 Talk about subjects of interest to them.
 Students use the material they have already learned
 Acquire new vocabulary in a meaningful context
 Use some of the structures they practiced in the previous lesson.
 Students retrieve and reuse material from previous lessons in a real
exchange of ideas.
 Elicit their interest in the present lesson.

21. PRESENTATION : The teacher : [decides on the teaching aids to be
used]
Conveys the meaning of new material / language to students
(inductively or deductively) context of com/ examples analysed then rule
deduced,
for the inductive it is context of com , elicitation of target example for giving
the rule, then practise. It is what is commonly known as rule eg for inductive
and eg rule for deductive.
Gives them the chance to interact with it and to indicate in some way (not
necessarily by producing the language) that they have understood
 How :
•answering simple Yes/No / "Wh-questions,
•pointing or marking correct pictures or replies,
•ordering pictures ,
•matching items ,
•deducing and explaining rules or concepts,
•creating questions
•employ dramatization, role-playing, problem-solving, oral or written reports,
discussion, lecturing, grouping, picture-drawing, showing objects, etc,

22. PRACTICE : {engage the students in an interchange of
communication using what they have been learning}
Students work with the material in a controlled context to help them
develop accuracy, confidence and move toward fluency .
Activities begin as more controlled : « Guided practice »
•repetition
•coping
•info gaps
•picture card games
•simple fill-ins (word, dialog, gesture, strategy) .
Activities next move to being freer or more complex : « Free practice »
question-answer exercises where students are restricted to a particular
topic
certain vocabulary items.

23. USE :
 Students are required to choose and
discriminate among choices in language
within a less controlled context.
 Activities allow for student learning to be
demonstrated as defined by the lesson
objective.
 Common activities include role plays
personal reactions ,discussions, values
clarification and games.

24. • A Listening lesson plan is made of the following steps:
• {Pre-listening (P) –During/While listening (D) – Post-listening(P)}
• Pre-Listening:
• The teacher builds schema and introduces new language as needed.
• Use pre-listening activities to prepare students for what they are going to hear or view.
• The activities chosen during pre-listening may serve as preparation for listening in
several ways. During pre-listening the teacher may :
 Assess students’ background knowledge of the topic and linguistic content of the text.
 Provide students with the background knowledge necessary for their comprehension of
the listening passage or activate the Existing knowledge that the students possess;
 Clarify any cultural information which may be necessary to comprehend the passage;
 Make students aware of the type of text they will be listening to, the role they will play,
and the purpose(s) for which they will be listening;
 Provide opportunities for group or collaborative work and for background reading or
class discussion activities

25. Sample pre-listening activities:
 Looking at pictures, maps, diagrams, or graphs
 Reviewing vocabulaire or grammatical structures
 Reading something relevant
 Constructing semantic webs (a graphic
arrangement of concepts or words showing how
they are related)
 Predicting the content of the listening text
 Going over the directions or instructions for the
activity
 Doing guided practice

26. During- listening: While-listening activities relate directly to
the text, and students do them during or immediately after the
time they are listening. Keep these points in mind when planning while-
listening activities:
 If students are to complete a written task during or immediately after
listening, allow them to read through it before listening
 Keep writing to a minimum during listening. Remember that the
primary goal is comprehension, not production
 Organize activities so that they guide listeners through the
text :Students complete multiple tasks that move from a general to
specific focus in order to deepen their understanding of the text and
develop specific listening / reading skills, such as reading / listening
for gist or specifics, skimming and scanning ,using context clues to
predict content
 Use predicting to encourage students to monitor their comprehension
as they list
 Give immediate feedback whenever possible

27. Sample -while-listening- activities :
Listening with visuals.
Filling in graphs and charts.
Following a route on a map.
Checking off items in a list.
Listening for the gist .
Searching for specific clues to meaning.
Completing cloze (fill-in) exercises.
Distinguishing between formal and
informal registers.

28. Post- listening: Use post-listening activities to:
• Check comprehension,
•Evaluate listening skills and use of listening strategies
• Extend the knowledge gained to other contexts.
A post-listening activity may relate to a pre-listening
activity
 A post-listening activity must reflect the real-life uses to
which students might put information they have gained
through listening
Students complete activities that expand on content or
language from the text using other skills
, i.e. grammar, speaking, writing.

29. A Reading lesson plan is made of the following steps :
{ Pre-reading (P) –During/While reading (D) – Post-reading (P)}
•Reading is an interactive process that goes on between the reader and the text,
resulting in comprehension
•Reading is an activity with a purpose. A person may read in order to gain
information or verify existing knowledge, or in order to critique a writer’s ideas or
writing style
•A person may also read for enjoyment, or to enhance knowledge of the language
being read.
•The text presents letters, words, sentences, and paragraphs that encode meaning.
•The reader uses knowledge, skills, and strategies to determine what that meaning is
•In the case of reading, this means producing students who can use reading strategies to
maximize their comprehension of text, identify relevant and non-relevant information, and
tolerate less than word-by-word comprehension.

30. Sample pre-reading activities:
Using the title, subtitles, and divisions within the text to predict content and
organization or sequence of information
Looking at pictures, maps, diagrams, or graphs and their captions
Talking about the author’s background, writing style, and usual topics
Skimming to find the theme or main idea and eliciting related prior knowledge
Reviewing vocabulary or grammatical structures
Reading over the comprehension questions to focus attention on finding that
information while reading
Constructing semantic webs (a graphic arrangement of concepts or words
showing how they are related)
Doing guided practice with guessing meaning from context or checking
comprehension while reading
Asking the learners to anticipate from a picture or the title .
Introducing the topic through some key words .
Telling a parallel story to introduce some difficult words .
Having the learners predict information constituents .
Review a previous lesson that is thematically or structurally linked to the new
one .
Ask pointed questions to whet the pupils' appetite and raise their motivation.

31. While-reading activities
MCQ
True / false / not mentioned.
Table filling
Matching pair activities
Sentence completion .
Open ended comprehension questions graded from :
a)Reference questions : where the answer are explicitly given
in the text
b)Inference questions :where the pupils have to read
between the lines to find the answers .
C) Evaluation questions : although these questions are too
difficult at this level

32. Post reading phase :
The role of the teacher here is that of evaluator .He checks that
the objectives set , that is the activities set in the reading phase
have been done to his satisfaction .These activities are
corrected .
This is also an opportunity to diagnose more common mistakes
and offer remedial works to the hole class for mistakes made by
all .There may also be follow up written or oral activities :
The learners can ask each other questions on the passage .
They can imagine a different ending orally , to pave the way to
written expression .
They can retell the passage from a different character's
point of view .
They can learn how to summarize the passage orally first then
written

33. Reading Aloud in the Classroom
• Students do not learn to read by reading aloud.
• A person who reads aloud and comprehends the meaning of the text is
coordinating word recognition with comprehension and speaking and
pronunciation ability in highly complex ways. Students whose language skills are
limited are not able to process at this level.
• In addition, reading aloud is a task that students will rarely, if ever, need to do
outside of the classroom
• It does not test a student’s ability to use reading to accomplish a purpose or goal.
 There are three ways to use reading aloud productively in the language
classroom.
• Read aloud to your students as they follow along silently. You have the ability to use
inflection and tone to help them hear what the text is saying. Following along as
you read will help students move from word-by-word reading to reading in
phrases and thought units, as they do in their first language.
• Use the “read and look up” technique. With this technique, a student reads a
phrase or sentence silently as many times as necessary, then looks up (away from
the text) and tells you what the phrase or sentence says. This encourages students
to read for ideas, rather than for word recognition.
• However, reading aloud can help a teacher assess whether a student is “seeing”
word endings and other grammatical features when reading

34. 1-P= Presentation<Presenting the context in which the structure
appears> 2- Isolation:
the focus is temporarily on the grammatical item itself and the aim is :to
get the learner perceive & recognize the grammatical item what it looks
like3- Analysis:
Here you will try to make ur learners analyze the isolated items the aim is :
to get your learners perceive how it is formed ( structure), how it functions
and what it means and the rule that govern it
4- Stating Rule :
Here after they analyse you help them to formulate the grammar rule
5- Practice: This is achieved through three (3) type of tasks
a- Based form task: Mechanical manipulation < focus only on the form >
b- Meaning based task: Focus is on meaning
c- Communicative based task: ( emphasis is on transmitting message)

35. 1-brainstorming
2 planning or organizing‐
3 drafting(writing the first‐
draft
4 editing‐
5 publishing‐

36. 1. :getting started is the most difficult task in writing. With the help of brainstorming we
make it less painful for the students . in the brain storming stage,the students starts
thinking about the topic given. This may be done as a whole class activity or in groups so
the students benefits from each other as well.the teacher writes on the board every idea
that comes from the students without eliminating any.
To initiate thinking and generate possible writing topics,it s important for students to
explore ideas for writing topics using a variety of pre writing strategies,such as the‐
following :
• word map
• *viewing media such as pictures,movies, and television
• *interviewing a person knowledgebale about the topic
• *engaging in peer or teacher_student discussion
• *reading about and researching the topic
• *free writing
• *listing
• *reflecting upon personal experience
• *examing writing models
• *role playing
• *asking the Ws..who,what,where ,when and why

37. 2‐ planning stage: once the ideas are put randomly on the board,it is now time to
eliminate some and organize the rest of the ideas as « main support » ; in other words,
plan the writing.
3‐ drafting (writing the first draft) : by looking at the plans, the students
start writing their essays.they may change the order of their main
supports,or re_arrange their minor supports.if you have read myths about
people writing a perfect essay on their first try, it is time to face the
truth : there is always a mistake either in the organization or in the
grammar or the choice/form of the vocabulary.this leads us to editing.
4‐ Editing:what is the editing stage ? The editing stage is when you check your essay
for mistakes and correct them. Editing steps :
*grammar and spelling :
‐check your spelling check your grammar. read your essay again‐ ‐
‐make sure each sentence has a subject «make sure your subject‐
and verb agree with each other make sure that each sentence‐
makes sense.
*style and organization : make sure your essay has an‐
introduction.
‐check that you have a thesis statement that identifies the main
idea of the essay.
‐.check that all your paragraphs follow the paragraph format
‐see if your essay is interesting.

38. 5‐ Editing: what is the publishing stage ? The publishing stage is when
you produce a final copy of your essay to hand in. *
•‐make a paper copy of your essay read to group hand in‐ ‐
your work to your teacher.
•planning stage
•drafting
•Editing
•publishing
publishing steps :
‐ask them for hints on how to improve your writing.

39. Assessing The Lesson Plan
After writing the lesson plan teachers should check to be sure that
it is well planned.
Teachers may check that the lesson communicates objectives to
the learners, that it is well sequenced, has a balance of teacher and
learner-centered activities, etc.
After teaching the lesson, teachers should make notes on the
lesson plan about what was effective, what was not effective and
strategies to make the lesson more effective next time they teach
it.
Then they should file the lesson for future reference.
