LESSON PLAN
Teacher:
School :
Level: Beginners
Date: September ....2024
Unit: Let’s start!
Theme: The English Alphabet
Textbook: Dooley, Jenny, Virginia Evans, Comunicare în limba modernă engleză, Clasa
a II-a, Editura Uniscan, 2019
General aims:
By the end of the lesson the students will be able to:
-to understand, read and write new words enriching their vocabulary
-to identify and write the letters of the alphabet
Presentation mood:
-I try to create a friendly atmosphere and I find the presence of self-confidence in my pupils’
eyes.
- I speak in a natural and moderate voice to assure the pupils that all is right and under the
control
- I focus on all my students to maintain the eye contact with them; they must feel that all
their problems and actions are important;
- I use one of my hand to gesture emphatically; I relaxed my arms, nod my head to the
speaker
- I smile gently when one of the pupils tells a humorous adventure referring to the farm’s life
Teaching techniques:
- I like to use: the conversation, exercises, the observation, the dialogue
- I need to be aware that all the students are beginners; I let them to be active.
- Language teaching becomes enjoyable and more effective by singing songs for each
major topic and playing games in pair with cards or in groups;
-I need to be sure that students understand the new words correctly
- I help the pupils if it is necessary
- I try to give clear instructions
Motivation:
- The pupils’ approach is very important in order to attract their attention and to
motivate them. All the children like singing and playing. I used these ways with
success. Using pair or group works, pupils have a positive attitude and a more rapid
apprehension of the information, becoming independent, acquiring a high sense of
responsibility.
Learning resources:
- I always paid attention to the presentation, making drawing simple, big enough to be
seen by every pupil in the classroom. I wrote legible and correctly on the blackboard,
emphasizing with coloured chalks that are important to keep in mind.
- I use interesting photos which illustrate events and traditions, playing cards to
stimulate the pair work, which provides responsibility, independence, cooperation
- We use also the course-book that provides texts and learning tasks, which are likely to
be of an appropriate level for most of the class.
- Practice activity must be in connection with the presentation
Time management:
- A lesson has a limited time.
- I set a time limit to the group work till I try to finish the activity while the pupils are
still enjoying it and interested.
- Playing is very interesting, but this activity and its preparation take more time and
sometimes I can’t manage it; however games are more efficiently.
Assessment and feed-back:
- I always give encouragement to those pupils, who don’t answer successfully. By this
way I can recapture pupils’ wandering attention, promote success, and enhance self-
esteem. The teacher mustn’t break their enthusiasm, but we must have high
expectations.
- I treat all the pupils equally with care and with respect when I assess their
acquaintances.
- Feedback gives pupils information about the validity of their knowledge or skills,
which must have a positive emotional tone.
- By the diagnostic assessment trough the formative, I obtain the final appreciation
respecting the syllabus.
Problems in practice:
- Pupils might find difficulty in speaking; sometimes they express themselves incorrect
in pronunciation. I think that, problems are caused by the fact they didn’t know the
grammatical application rule. They are beginners and some students may not feel self-
confident about their pronunciation and refuse interaction.
- I assessed the situation and I prepare more explanations.
- I try to solve the discipline problems giving black points which influenced badly their
grades.
