Instructional Planning

This lesson plan illustrates my approach to teaching beginner-level learners in a secondary school context. The lesson features clear language targets, step-by-step scaffolding, and frequent comprehension checks to support student confidence and participation. Activities are designed to promote meaningful communication while maintaining a supportive, structured classroom environment for lower-proficiency learners.

This half-semester plan demonstrates my approach to designing cohesive, skills-integrated instruction for intermediate to upper-intermediate learners in an secondary school context. The plan outlines clear learning objectives, progressive skill development, and thematic units that integrate speaking, listening, reading, and presenting. Instruction emphasizes academic language use, critical thinking, and regular formative assessment to track student progress and adjust instruction over time.

The previous half-semester plan concludes with a summative midterm assessing students’ understanding of cultural themes and their ability to express ideas using appropriate B1–B2 level academic English. The exam evaluates reading comprehension of culture-related texts, written responses comparing cultural perspectives, and listening tasks focused on interpretation and analysis. Assessment criteria emphasize clarity of ideas, language accuracy, and effective use of topic-specific vocabulary.
