The document outlines the agenda and objectives for a planning session to teach participants how to effectively plan language lessons for children aged 5. The session will cover identifying learning objectives and outcomes, selecting appropriate teaching activities and materials, developing the lesson content, and assessing student understanding. In the afternoon, participants will work in groups to plan a 15-minute language lesson using the tips covered in the first part of the session, and then present their lesson plan to receive feedback.
2. OBJECTIVE
To give participants some tips for them to organize content,
materials, time, instructional strategies and assistance in the

7. What do I want
my students to
learn?
How will I check
for
understanding?
What teaching
and learning
activities will I
use?
What do I use to
engage students
into the
contents?
What questions should I ask before starting to plan?
8. Learning Objectives
A learning objective is an outcome statement that
captures specifically what knowledge, skills,
attitudes learners should be able to exhibit
following instruction.
Learning objectives should be “SMART”
Specific
Measurable/Observable
Attainable for target audience within
scheduled time and specified conditions
Relevant and results-oriented
Targeted to the learner and to the desired
level of learning.
9. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
The decision about which activity or
combination of activities to use
within a lesson depends on the
teacher’s beliefs about the relative
effectiveness of the different
activities for the type of learning
intended.
10. Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to …
The activities not only must deliver
the appropriate intellectual
experience for the learning to occur,
but also facilitate the ease with which
pupils can engage and remain
engaged in this experience. the
major part of the lesson may involve
the main learning experiences, and
the ending may involve some review
or general comments about the
importance, relevance or quality of
the learning that took place.
11. Planning preparation
Outline learning objectives
To determine what you want students to learn and be able to do at the end of class.
What is the topic of the lesson?
What do I want students to learn?
What do I want them to understand and be able to do at the end of class?
What do I want them to take away from this particular lesson?
Develop the introduction
Now that you have your learning objectives in order of their importance, design the
specific activities you will use to get students to understand and apply what they
have learned.
Plan the specific learning activities (the main body of the lesson)
Prepare several different ways of explaining the material (real-life examples,
analogies, visuals, etc.) to catch the attention of more students and appeal to
different learning styles.
Plan to check for understanding
Now that you have explained the topic and illustrated it with different examples, you
need to check for student understanding – how will you know that students are
learning? Think about specific questions you can ask students in order to check for
understanding, write them down, and then paraphrase them so that you are
prepared to ask the questions in different ways
11
12. Develop a conclusion and a
preview
Conclude the lesson not only by summarizing the
main points, but also by previewing the next lesson.
How does the topic relate to the one that’s coming?
This preview will spur students’ interest and help
them connect the different ideas within a larger
context.

Objective and outcome of the
lesson
They are not clearly described or
one is not coherent with the
other
The objective is clear, the
outcome is not so coherent
with it.
clClear and coherent outcome with
the lesson objectives, described in
detail. The pupil is clearly informed
what it’s expected from them.
Teaching- Learning Activities
and purpose
- Another teacher cannot easily
teach your lesson due to lack of
detail and description
-Activity is not age appropriate
-Activity uses only worksheets or
other means that is not hands-
on/explorative
Detailed but not descriptive so
another teacher can easily
teach your lesson
-Activity is somewhat age
appropriate
-Activity encourages some
hand-on learning and/or
exploration to learn the topic
- Detail and descriptive so another
teacher can easily teach your
lesson
-Activity is age appropriate
-Activity encourages hand-on
learning and/or exploration to
learn the topic - Coherent with the
outcome and objective
Strategies to check student
understanding
Activities do not align with the
objective of the lesson so
understanding of pupils is not
possible.
Some of the activities allow
for checking of pupils’
understanding.
Assessment and evaluation are
clearly stated, the feedback given
is effective and timely.

Giving instructions
and use of language
The instructions given are
somewhat planned out and
somewhat organized. Does not
check for understanding of them.
The instructions are planned
out and organized. Checks for
understanding but not in an
appropriate manner.
The instructions are well planned
out and organized. Checks
understanding of instructions all
the time.
Applying theory studied

the topics very well.

of some of the topics..
Shows a full understanding of all
the topics.
