Basic Lesson Plan Ideas.

Included in this page are some basic lesson plans that work, and are communicative. But there are some simple ideas that you need to accept before using these:

• Routine, routine, routine. Students know what's coming up next, and have much less anxiety, and will participate more in class.

• The students do all of the talking in pairs, not you wasting their practice time by making them listen to you

• You need to correct errors, but not always immediately

• You need to structure the lesson so you always go from easy to difficult in concepts
