Reflect: Classroom Discussion

Reflect 18th April 2014
                The class room activities of 18th April 2014 was about testing teaching English in the course syllabus that we have submitted to the teacher. The popular topic was about the nature and the way to save the environment. Most of students in the class were ready to have a test. When the class began the depressed atmosphere covered the class. However, after the teacher saw the error in the teaching of the first students, the content of the lesson plan was discussed.  The parts of the lesson plan that emphasized in were the aim or goal, objectives, and other details in the lesson plan. Here are some useful ways to write the effective lesson plan.
                The main topic of the class was how to write the lesson plan productively. The syllabus that my fellow students and I wrote is emphasized on environmental conservation and public mind. Moreover, the teacher suggested us the way to write the lesson plan that make students’ learning is meaningful. The way to write the lesson plan we have to consider many factors.  How do the objectives come from? How to do the objectives? These are mainly focused on lesson plan and how to teach the students effectively. First, we have to consider to the curriculum what it want us to teach students in the level that we want to teach. Second, we have to find the standard that appropriate to the students. Third, select the indicator which appropriate. Next, we have to think how to apply the indicators to the objectives. Then set the objectives by relating to the performance, condition, and standard. The objectives can be categorized to be the terminal objective, the enabling objective and learning objective. Afterwards, we select the way to teach and write the lesson plan. The process that is very important in writing lesson plan is searching the content that is suitable to the objectives and level of students’ knowledge, processing the lesson, synthesizing  the contents that we have selected, finding the tools to evaluate the students outcome, and then ready to write the lesson plan.

                In conclusion, most of the problems of my fellow students and I were the process and the structure of the lesson plan that we do not know it clearly.  Accordingly, we have to improve it to be an effective lesson plan. If we have the lesson plan which passes the right process, we could enhance and improve students’ learning as well. In this lesson plan, we who will be the teacher in the future focused on the listening and speaking skill to encourage students’ communication. In addition we use the task-based learning to help students in language learning. Accordingly, if the lesson plan and teaching process is well used, the students will get the English skills of listening and speaking skills through the environmental conservation and the public mind. Therefore, the students can bring some of the knowledge in English classroom to use in their daily lives.
