Education is
the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.

Generative Questions:
Why are videos necessary in
the ESL/EFL classroom?
How can the English teacher
adapt videos in his/her class?
Our theme of the week is related to lesson plan; for this reason, it is important to take into account what does lesson plan mean? A lesson plan is a detailed guide for teaching a
lesson. It's a step-by-step guide that outlines the teacher's objectives for
what the students will accomplish that day. Creating a lesson plan involves
setting goals, developing activities, and determining the materials that will
be used.
I strongly
feel that, a productive lesson is not one in which everything goes exactly as
planned, but one in which both learners and professor learn from each other. In fact, Butt (2006) mentions
that:
Successful lesson planning is
linked to the evaluation of lessons previously taught- a circular relationship that
helps to ensure good teaching and learning in both the short and long term. Interestingly,
teachers who have problems in the classroom do not make this causal link back
to their lesson planning. (p.3)
It is important
to distinguish the lesson plan`s benefits
Helps you to
stay on track
Helps to
prepare for every step of the lesson
Provides
guidance for a substitute
Helps you
save time in the future (if you recycle your lessons)
Helps you
achieve your objectives
Helps to
think in an organized manner
Components
of a Lesson Plan
The easiest way to create a lesson plan is to use a
lesson plan template. This will help you stay prepared and organized.

Warm up:
Teacher shows several
pictures which are activities that take place during the day in order to their
students identify new vocabulary.
Presentation:
Educator indicates their
students make a round table, the he shows a video related to Tiger Tony’s
routine.
Practice:
Learners watch the
video and the sequence of the actions, in order to distinguish activities
carried out by the tiger
Free Practice:
Student should
practice in pairs and developed questions about the activity carried out by
the tiger such as
·
What time does he get
up?
·
What does he do after
taking a bath?
·
What are the
activities that he carries out during the day?
·
Does he brush his
teeth?
Consolidation:
Students will form two groups (audience and a person
interacting on a common day). On the one hand, the role of tiger must be
polite and with apprehensible. On the other hand, the spectators
must be focused in the actions performed by the main
character. Then students change positions each minute. Students should use
the daily routine’s vocabulary most of the time as possible.
Post:
Teacher give feedback with the purpose of clarifying
doubts of the class.

Observations

What things
should be changed?
|
Through this video students are going able to
recognize several vocabularies related to daily routines. Added to that, they will be able to identify what activities the tiger does.
The class warm up is focused on recognizing different images related to routines. For instance:
Through this
project, I analyzed several aspects relate to the using videos in the EFL/ESL
classroom and how they can enrich my class. I found reasons to think that using
videos as main resource could help me significantly; what is more, these visual
materials allow to apply different concepts related to education and its
importance in the teaching process. It is no secret that teacher can adapt
visual material such as: songs, movies, cartoon, among others, in order to encourage
students. What I mean, these kinds of instructive materials are incorporated
through mechanism established. It
is often said that, students have several problems related to learning English;
in fact, they must fight against big obstacles such as: few lessons, lack of
technological equipment, or demotivation. Nevertheless; none of this is
compared with learning something in a wrong way. So, it is important to figure
out which aspects could be changed, of course, with the purpose of improving
students ‘skills.
