Introduction
|
Should I always follow a coursebook
when I plan a lesson? What do I need to do before and after I plan? |
| 1.Why not just always follow the coursebook?
|
·The coursebook can be very helpful. It can provide
language, activities and a framework for lessons. It can also save you time.
·But the coursebook may not always suit your class.
·Sometimes you may need to add activities for the different needs, learning
styles and interests of your children. If they need extra listening practice,
you might add an action story, for example.
·You may also want to adapt or omit a coursebook activity if you feel the
topic or language in it does not suit your children's needs. . |
| 2. How can I start to plan a lesson? |
·Think about what children have
already learned in other lessons and how your lesson will build on this.
·Now plan the language aims of the lesson. What do you want children to
know, do, or understand by the end of the lesson? If you know your aim,
you will be able to make this clear to children in the lesson.
·Now plan any non-linguistic aims. Do you want children to know more about
a topic, for example, or to be able to work well in groups? |
| 3. What else should I think about when planning
a lesson? |
·Think about which activities
to use, how long they will take, and how to have a balance which will keep
children motivated and interested.
·Think about groupings in the lesson. Will you have any pairwork or groupwork
activities? These will provide language practice and also help children
to concentrate and stay motivated.
·What aids or resources will you use to help achieve the aims of the lesson?
Plan how you will use them.
·Predict difficulties children may have and how you will help them. |
| 4. What should I do after the lesson? |
· Take time to think. Did children
learn? Was the lesson enjoyable as well as useful? Was there enough variety
in the lesson? Did you need to be flexible to deal with unexpected events
in the lesson?
· Think about how you might follow this lesson up. Will children need to
revise anything they learned in the lesson? Can this lesson lead to interesting
activities in future lessons?
· What did you learn as a teacher? You might take a minute or two to write
some notes about this at the bottom of your lesson plan for future reference.

| 一、Summary |
| Coursebooks can be helpful, but
you will sometimes need to use your own ideas when planning a lesson. Take
time also after the lesson to think about what you have learned as a teacher. |
