Speaking from experience and as a CELTA grad, that's how I do my lesson planning; by notebook (the old school paper version). The only time I use a template is when one is required of me or if there's a plan on that template. Depending on the lesson, I might borrow from previous plans, go by the subject theme, or go by the end production result and work backwards. Thank you very much for your videos. I can definitely relate to that teacher.
I am glad that you found it helpful. Keep up the good work, lesson planning isn't easy at first. I am sure you will get the hang of it in no time at all :)
I a currently in my 4th week at the International TEFL Academy and we are working on lessons plan and this video really helped me out a lot. I plan on coming back for refreshers.
That's awesome! Are you traveling abroad to teach in-person, or are you teaching them online from afar? Either way, I'm excited for you! Feel free to explore more videos on this topic here: ruclips.net/video/h4XG68vQOKo/видео.html ... or in Module 2 of our online TESOL course here: goandteach.citizenstesol.org/courses/module2 Happy lesson planning, Andy
Thank you so much. I studied this some years ago but despite I've been teachin for some time, I didn't remember this WPPPW so well, but since I'm going to do a class model presentation to apply for a new job, your video is very much useful for me in this moment.
You know I’m also a teacher and I feel passionate about teaching and I do think it’s important to prepare a lesson but I also have to say that I have my lesson plan in my head. I know what subject to start with and how to teach it. I teach online and I use different materials that I have ready on my computer (worksheets, board games, etc). So what I want to say is that I don’t spend a lot of time on doing my lesson plan, if something goes wrong during the lesson I try to change and fix it immediately and all the parents like my teaching style, they think I’m always well prepared, but I’m not. I don’t like to do lesson plans because 1st: it takes a lot of time away and 2nd the lesson or the activities you will do during the lesson will almost always be different anyways - your lesson or how you’re going to conduct your lesson will all depend on your students' mood and also if they need more time to understand a subject before moving on to the next.
This is an awesome perspective, Alexandra! I agree that lesson planning takes up so much time for teachers and that at the end of the day you really need to be super flexible anyways. I think that it's helpful for new teachers to have a basic foundation for lesson planning as they get started, but that it's super normal to switch later to creating simple outlines for your day (or using another much simpler way to plan your day) instead of having an intensive lesson planning process. I hope that PPP and simple frameworks like this will work for both types of teachers: those who need to intensively plan their lessons, as well as teachers like you who are ready for anything and excellent at "playing jazz" as we like to say in our TESOL. I love your posts! Thanks for sharing...Cheers!
The video is comparable with similar proffessional courses.Thank you for giving such a great opportunity to learn the methodology 🙏Also Id like to point that every single word is important and worth to listen in your video lesson.there isn't any affluent excessive info
Thanks so much! I'm really glad that you found this summary of PPP so useful. If you want more explanations that go deeper into methodologies like this one, then feel free to check out our TESOL course here: citizenstesol.org
Thank You For Taking The "Time" To Show The Genuine Part. I should have been an Architect, after 30 yrs and a Project Manager switching from instructing those without English to Teaching ESL. I had a cringe feeling of grammar; my school yrs of being graded from A to C for penmanship which blocked all grammar retention, why put my heart into a C! Watching you at your table, is exactly how I used to as a PM. Your slow, simple, demonstrating not follow material, use it as you prepare to lead your class and then the 20-minute lesson plan bridged my uncertainty in seeing the paralleled similarities, a huge blessing. Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing your personal story with us! That really means a lot to us. "Why put your heart into a C!?"...you've summed up a lot of the reason for why we teachers do what we do, and you've inspired me with your simple words to always strive to do better...and to help students see their value, not in their grades or how well they do on a test, but in who God made them to be...beautiful, smart, creative, wonderful people. Blessings to you, my friend. -Andy
Hi there! As a Tech-Edu enthusiast, I found your video on using PPP lessons for teaching English insightful. It's great to see how you break down the lesson-planning process and emphasize the importance of engaging students throughout. I'm curious, have you explored any innovative technology tools or platforms that enhance the PPP approach and make English language learning even more interactive? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Thank you so much i am in mexico los cabos san lucas, thia saturday is myvery first time i will be teaching english, your videos for sure will be very helpful. A new follower here

Tysm! I want to teach as a 15 year old boy. But as you might think, I know nothing about teaching, so I´m trying to collect as much information as possible to do my best and your video was extremely helpfull! I learn exactly what I needed to know. Still going to keep my research up so I can do it even better! :D

This is what we do in martial arts classes, precisely. First we warm up, then the coach teaches the new technique, after that we practice the new technique and nothing else, and finally we free spar.
I really loved this video.This year I'm preparing for TESOL instructor I'd like to know where to get the template for lesson plan you have to your right?

Love this video and also love your shirt so true and positive! I am wondering what the name is of the Part 1 of this video, i've looked (probably not well enough though!). Thanks so much.

Hello! 🙋🏻♀️ Could you please tell me what would be the best warm up activity when teaching activities? (Sliding, swinging, singing, etc.) THANKS IN ADVANCE! 💜
Hi Ana! We have a good list of 50+ popular activities you can use for teaching ESL and to get your students practicing a second language, including a bunch of Warm Up activities on PAGE 12... check out that helpful guide: "Fun Activities for Teaching English" - citizenstesol.org/fun-activities Do you have any other questions about Warm Ups that I can help you with? Sliding, swinging, and singing sound like lots of fun!!! ...I'd love to hear which of those have been your favorite. Blessings, -Andy
You're so welcome, Fiona! Trust me, our whole team knows what it's like to complete a course like the one you're in, and YOU GOT THIS. If you need more videos about lesson planning, that was just video #2, and you can find our whole playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PLc7qiAsR5B_R9BPy_ExCMVzd816RImSRI Wishing you all the best as you complete your course and start teaching!
Can we say that in the practice it is controlled and in the production it is freer? For example, if it's a vocabulary lesson and the sub-aim is speaking; thus, in the practice stage we keep the written record on the board; however, we erase it in the speaking.
Yes, that is exactly right. We didn't cover it here because we were just presenting some of these concepts for the first time in our TESOL course. But later in the course, we break down this idea of "Controlled Practice" that you're talking about, and how that differs from something like a role play, which can be very open-ended and uncontrolled (and which makes it great for Production). "Scaffolding" is another popular way of thinking about controlled practice, and I like to think of scaffolding in the classroom like the way that you can teach someone to ride a bike for the first time: by surrounding and holding them upright as they move forward down the street (controlled), and eventually you can let go and they are able to continue riding on their own (uncontrolled and free).
Speaking from experience and as a CELTA grad, that's how I do my lesson planning; by notebook (the old school paper version). The only time I use a template is when one is required of me or if there's a plan on that template. Depending on the lesson, I might borrow from previous plans, go by the subject theme, or go by the end production result and work backwards. Thank you very much for your videos.

I'm so grateful to you for sharing such an effective teaching method with us. It means the world to me who is struggling with lesson planning.
