Procedure: Phase: Timing: Interaction:

Your procedure is whatever you will do during your lesson, step by step.

Phases refers usually to either engage, Study and activities. Engage refers to initially getting students interested and involved in a lesson. Usually some pics, display or asking questions about the lesson topic helps with this task. Study is when students work alone or in groups performing tasks on their own, such as work sheets, discussion and paraphrasing or other tasks with teacher observing and helping only. Activity phases involve teacher role and students. Activates are usually much better for English as a second language classes, making a lesson more interesting and keeping student’s attention and focus, especially young students. Group work is excellent for learning English is this manner as well.

Keep track of the timing of each part of the lesson. Prepare for some extra time at the end of your lesson with an extra activity, review or student feed back, just in case your lesson ends before the lesson time.

Interaction is either teacher-student or student-student. Trying to get students to speak and practice as much as possible is very important, as well as some reading and writing skill development.
