How Can I Prepare an Ideal Lesson-Plan?

Abstract

Preparing a lesson plan is one of the most challenging issues that novice teachers and students at their college levels face when they are asked to write a lesson plan (Bin-Hady, 2018). As a response to many of the students and teachers, the researchers try to set some solutions and guidance which can be even at limited level help such novice teachers and activate or sharpen skillful teachers. This paper provides novice teachers and students with theoretical and practical information about lesson-planning. It briefly defines lesson plan, explains its importance and sets the essential elements for a lesson plan. The second part of the paper focuses on the practical solution for writing lesson-plans. The researchers prepared different plans which focus on the four language skills and language areas. Such skill and areas are important to be concentrated on for enhancing learners in their language ability or using language communicatively. The researchers used Crescent English Course for Yemen (CECFY) as the content of this study because CECFY is the coursebook used to teach English at the Yemeni context.
