Lesson plans are hugely important for both CELTA and teaching in general. For English Language teaching, the lesson plan differs depending on the type of lesson that you are teaching. There are two main types of lessons- a skills lesson or a grammar lesson. Skills lessons involve going over listening, reading, speaking or writing. Your lesson plan will vary but here are some example structures.
Plan for a skills lesson:
1. Lead-in: This is what sets the topic of the lesson and engages the students.
2. Lexis: This is where you introduce any key vocabulary that you are going to use.
3. Skill 1 e.g. reading
4. Skill 2 e.g. speaking
5. Skills 1 and 2
Plan for a grammar lesson:
1. Lead-in
2. Skill to introduce students to the grammar point/s
3. Form and meaning: to show students how the grammar point is used and what it means
4. Pronunciation of the grammar point in context
5. Controlled practice: a set task to use the grammar in
6. Free practice: a task where students can create their own answers
