There are various schools of thought on whether we should plan lessons. Too much planning can make lessons rigid and inflexible. However, it is very difficult for inexperienced teachers to be able to be as flexible as this would require. The teacher is expected to let the students decide what to do in the class but an inexperienced teacher would find difficulty in being able to conduct a lesson in such a way, as he/she wouldn?t be prepared to deal with some of the language problems that may arise from such a lesson and lessons, therefore, may well lack direction. Most teachers will find themselves somewhere between these two extremes. They will make notes, or complete lesson plan forms, but will build in flexibility. The writing of lesson plans has a number of important functions: It serves as an aid to planning. Writing down what you expect the students to achieve by the end of the lesson, and how you intend to make that possible, helps you to think logically through the stages in relation to available time. A lesson plan also serves as a working document and helps you keep on target and gives you something to refer to during the lesson. A lesson plan also acts as a record of what a class has done and which materials have been used. Recording class content will also help if you are ill and another teacher has to cover your classes.
