An effective lesson plan starts with appropriate and clearly written objectives. An objective is a description of a learning outcome. Objectives describe the destination, but not the journey, we want our students to reach.
Clearly well-written objectives are the first step in daily lesson planning. These objectives help state precisely what we want our students to learn, help guide the selection of appropriate activities, and help provide overall lesson focus and direction. They also give teachers a way to evaluate what their students have learned at the end of the lesson. Clearly well-written objectives can also be used to focus the students because they know what is expected from them.
After writing the lesson objectives, teachers must decide the activities and procedures they will use to ensure the successful attainment of these objectives. Planning at this stage means thinking through the purposes and structures of the activities. This step involves planning the shape of the lesson.
Although there are many models of language lesson plans, with their respective phases where the teachers and the students have their roles, teachers can make variations on the different generic components of their lesson plans.
As time passes in language lessons and as students gain competence, the students can gradually take on a larger role in choosing the content and even in the structure of the lessons. English language teachers should also realize that language lessons may be different from other content lessons because the same concepts may need to be reinforced time and again using different methods.
