SHE MENTIONS WHAT TEACHERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF BEFORE PLANNING THEIR CLASSES, I QUOTE
Before teachers can start to consider planning their classes they need to know three main areas: the job of teaching, the institution and the student.
The job of teaching.
Clearly well prepared teachers need to know a lot about the job they have to do before they can start to make successful lesson plans. There are six major areas of necessary knowledge:
* The language for the level.
* The skills for the level (that means to know the skills in which you want your students to perform in class).
* The learning aids available for the level.
* Stages and techniques in teaching (for example to recognize stages in the textbooks).
* A repertoire of activities (regarding different skills, approaches to reach all kinds of learners).
* Class management skills (you need to be able to guide the class, for example, to be able to control discipline).
These areas are all vitally important for a teacher and they all imply a lot of work, particularly where a level is being taught for the first time.
Without these areas of knowledge a teacher is in a poor position to make decisions about lesson planning.
AS YOU SEE HER CONTRIBUTION IS GREAT! I INVITE YOU TO MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT IT... WE WILL GO THROUGH THIS NEXT SESSION TOO =)
