...but a lesson plan can be immaculate and still not work if it has not been put together with the learners firmly in mind.
1. Have you based the lesson on identified learner needs? Remember the teacher who said his students didn’t respond to poetry in the classroom – perhaps this was because they did not feel this was one of their needs. Of course the teacher can sometimes help the learners create a need, but unless they feel the lesson is relevant, it is likely to fall flat.
2. Are the aims of the lesson realistic? The teacher needs to understand the limitations of the learners. Set the aims too high, or too low, and the lesson will not succeed.
3. Is the lesson plan too rigid? Remember to build in flexibility so that you can adapt if some aspect isn’t working as it should.
4. Are the tasks appropriate to the aims? If the tasks seem like an end in themselves, the learners might wonder what the point of doing them is. If necessary hold a debriefing after the tasks to allow students to see how their activities have contributed to the aims.
