HadaLitim 2015-10-14T19:59:52 Hi #ELTchat peeps! Ready for tonight's discussion on 'lesson plan formats taught in all the major TESOL training courses/diploma?
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:01:49 Hi @KarimaEnnouri  and @Noreen_Lam! Anyone else out there? #ELTchat
MarekKiczkowiak 2015-10-14T20:02:30 @HadaLitim they're completely unrealistic and don't reflect how most Ts plan #eltchat

HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:04:25 @Noreen_Lam hope so too Noreen #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:05:19 Let's start with a basic question to start with. Do you use lesson plans generally? #ELTchat
MarekKiczkowiak 2015-10-14T20:05:35 @HadaLitim the generic 5 page formal lesson plan you have to produce for the assessed lessons #ELTchat can't recall being taught others
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:06:33 @MarekKiczkowiak There's always the 20 page one we needed to produce for Delta! #ELTchat

KarimaEnnouri 2015-10-14T20:07:42 @HadaLitim In fact I am starting my first job after CELTA next week and I intend to use them again. #ELTchat
MarekKiczkowiak 2015-10-14T20:08:03 @HadaLitim that's even more preposterous. Can't see the point. Very out-of-touch with day to day planning #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:08:25 Use Nurph for our #eltchat, here's the link http://t.co/BCVzYI2ikY
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:09:00 @KarimaEnnouri Does your job require you to? #ELTchat

HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:09:27 @MarekKiczkowiak DO you think that perhpas they were useful during training just to have us learn to think abt everything #ELTchat
languageeteach 2015-10-14T20:09:30 my institution has just done away with lesson plans. I still do my own version though #Eltchat
KarimaEnnouri 2015-10-14T20:09:34 @angelos_bollas Hi #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:10:01 @languageeteach Great instituitons! )) Can you describe your own? #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:10:28 @angelos_bollas HIII! #eltchat Got through the traffic?
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:10:42 @MarekKiczkowiak @HadaLitim I think that Delta LPs are great trainers#ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2015-10-14T20:11:06 #eltchat I don't think I've ever used a written lesson plan. But I've an open mind... more or less... ;-)
languageeteach 2015-10-14T20:11:19 @HadaLitim Further Education college in the UK. Used to have do one but felt it was taking up too much time #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:11:50 @GlenysHanson Me neither - but LPs used in training have allowed me to be able to draft LPs in my mind for all lessons #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:11:54 @GlenysHanson That's interesting. What do you mean abt 'open mind'? ANd how have you got away with never using LPs? #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:12:29 @KarimaEnnouri Good luck! :-) #ELTchat @HadaLitim
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:12:38 @languageeteach I agree, waste of time really! Time that could be used on much more productive research #ELTchat

Shaunwilden 2015-10-14T20:13:33 Hi #eltchat finally back on my own sofa but after 27 hours flying too tired to concentrate
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:13:53 @angelos_bollas @GlenysHanson Same here. I think that both the CELTA and Delta ones have taught me loads about framing a lesson #ELTchat
ITLegge 2015-10-14T20:13:57 I always write a running order to keep track in class but no actual written plan unless observation #eltchat
MarekKiczkowiak 2015-10-14T20:14:21 @angelos_bollas @HadaLitim  thinking process is certainly useful. But putting together a 20 page plan is a waste of time and paper #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:14:27 @HadaLitim @GlenysHanson (agree) and thus allows us deviate from frames, too. #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:14:40 @Shaunwilden Hey!! Back from Oz! You must be on some serious jetlag #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2015-10-14T20:14:44 #eltchat @hadaLitim I'm open to you convincing me they're useful. French universities can't force teachers  to do anything.
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:14:51 @MarekKiczkowiak For real-life teaching? I totally agree with you.  @HadaLitim #ELTchat

Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:15:08 Hi everyone - a bit late sorry - tweeting from Toulouse #eltchat and no delta or celta type plans not needed or expected day to day
KarimaEnnouri 2015-10-14T20:15:27 @angelos_bollas @GlenysHanson  I would mix the steps or forget part if I keep them just in my mind. #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:15:31 @GlenysHanson I'd be the last to convince ou lol! I don't use them unless I'm asked to #ELTchat
languageeteach 2015-10-14T20:15:33 @HadaLitim True but I can't break the habit. I need to have some kind of structure. Am I too much of a control freak, I ponder? #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:16:02 @MarekKiczkowiak @HadaLitim (cont.) but I now work w/ Ts who have nt been trained on LPs & they face many difficulties w/ planning #ELTchat
Noreen_Lam 2015-10-14T20:16:03 When NqT helps a lot to get org but now just imposs 2write detailed LPs for all classes! #eltchat I jot down notes,special areas of caution.
MarekKiczkowiak 2015-10-14T20:16:15 @angelos_bollas @HadaLitim we're not taught different more realistic ways of planning #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:16:23 But explicit plans important as part of the training #eltchat - and if like @langueteach u get used to them u created a great database
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:16:26 @languageeteach What do your plan look like these days? #eltchat How detailed are they?
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:16:33 @Shaunwilden Welcome back! #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:16:51 @Marisa_C #ELTchat says hello to Toulouse! :-)

Shaunwilden 2015-10-14T20:17:40 @HadaLitim ooo just a wee bit :) #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:18:23 @KarimaEnnouri @GlenysHanson Some written points always helpful - esp. in the beginning. #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:18:25 @Shaunwilden I bet! You might start meeting rabbits and all sorts if you stick around. Best go and chill #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2015-10-14T20:18:29 @KarimaEnnouri @angelos_bollas #ELTchat My guide was what the students showed they needed in the "here & now".
KarimaEnnouri 2015-10-14T20:18:46 @HadaLitim @languageeteach sometimes less detailed than I used to write. #ELTchat
languageeteach 2015-10-14T20:19:41 @HadaLitim Plans help me to stop thinking of a lesson as a set of activities. Not that detailed unless I'm a bit unsure of sth #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:20:23 @languageeteach You mean it gives you a sense of sequence? beginning, middle, and end? #ELTchat @HadaLitim
languageeteach 2015-10-14T20:20:29 @GlenysHanson Not required by OFSTED and was becoming a cut and paste exercise. Bigwigs finally saw sense #ELTchat
KateLloyd05 2015-10-14T20:21:00 @languageeteach @HadaLitim plans help work out how to get from one activity to another too #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:21:02 So are lesson plans essential or can be done away with altogether? Can all Ts be organised without thm or do we need a min of plan? #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:21:10 @languageeteach If it's required, it loses its purpose. No? #ELTchat @GlenysHanson
languageeteach 2015-10-14T20:21:13 @angelos_bollas @HadaLitim Not necessarily but helps me think how activities are connected. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:21:24 Once a T has learnt to analyse, not tough to summarise and write more skeleton like plans -methinks #eltchat

KarimaEnnouri 2015-10-14T20:22:22 @HadaLitim They may not be essential but a great tool to help you structure your lesson and reflect on it  #ELTchat

KateLloyd05 2015-10-14T20:23:14 @HadaLitim think you need some order of events or you forget it #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:23:20 @Marisa_C I totally agree. A few scribbles - albeit essential scribbles - is all I need now BUT the training really helped  #ELTchat
KateLloyd05 2015-10-14T20:23:50 @HadaLitim and new teachers need some kind of plan for board work etc, for grammar - how to explain it etc. #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:23:58 LP is also very helpful for post-lesson reflection, I think. Easier to identify strengths and weaknesses #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:24:22 @KateLloyd05 I only seem to forget if I'm nervous, like during a formal obs perhaps. #ELTchat

theteacherjames 2015-10-14T20:24:56 The value in lesson plans during training for me is they require you to analyse what you’re doing in fine detail. #Eltchat

HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:25:13 @MarekKiczkowiak @angelos_bollas No, I hadn't but will defo read later thx #ELTchat

theteacherjames 2015-10-14T20:27:28 I would never plan like that a day to day basis, it would restrict me too much, but in training I think it’s valuable. #Eltchat

GlenysHanson 2015-10-14T20:28:51 @theteacherjames  #eltchat I find post-reflection (thanks for the term @HadaLitim) works best for analysing what really happened and why.

ITLegge 2015-10-14T20:32:04 @GlenysHanson @theteacherjames @HadaLitim yes but can be difficult to remember detail, so LP also useful as post-refl tool IMO #eltchat

angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:39:35 @ITLegge Never done it myself but please, let me know how it goes! :) #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:39:43 @getgreatenglish Thanks Marc for sharing. Will read later #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:39:49 RT @getgreatenglish: Some people might like this alternative (Dogme friendly) planning theory for institutions. #eltchat #long http://t.co/…
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:39:54 Here it is http://t.co/wDWUPA5jyM "can you do dogme for ane experimental practice assgnmnt"  #ELTchat
eilymurphy 2015-10-14T20:40:19 @theteacherjames @HadaLitim yes, learning objectives work well, especially when negotiated with Ss #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:40:31 @ITLegge @angelos_bollas How would that work? WOuld you then play it during the lesson? I''m puzzled #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2015-10-14T20:40:46 I recycle bits of lessons all the time, but add new things as required #ELTchat  btw. I am not really here. Will do transcript when get home
theteacherjames 2015-10-14T20:40:48 @HadaLitim @eilymurphy @angelos_bollas If you’re prepared to tweak and adapt, why not? It’s great to have something in the bank! #Eltchat
ITLegge 2015-10-14T20:41:40 @HadaLitim @angelos_bollas me too! In theory, you'd need to which could be distracting for sts and nightmare with YLs! #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:41:54 @theteacherjames @eilymurphy @angelos_bollas Totally and especially when you're teaching inthe same context, the same CBs for yrs #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2015-10-14T20:42:13 @angelos_bollas @HadaLitim  #eltchat Isn't that a bit different - reusing situations or activities? A plan implies a predetermined sequence.
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:42:32 @ITLegge @angelos_bollas Un;ess you wore headphones haha #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:42:52 RT @Marisa_C: Here it is http://t.co/wDWUPA5jyM "can you do dogme for ane experimental practice assgnmnt"  #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:43:16 @Marisa_C I'll be checking that out later! Intrigued #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:43:26 @GlenysHanson some times, when teaching a coursebook we do create own tasks that can be used with more groups, no? #ELTchat @HadaLitim
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:43:37 @Marisa_C Thanks Marisa for finding it )) #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:43:58 With detailed/explicit plans, one of the probs I often see is ppl have trouble with time estimates and covering everything - #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:44:16 @SueAnnan Hi not-really-here-Sue! I do too )) #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:44:34 Usually overplan - forget that smtms less is more #ELTchat
ITLegge 2015-10-14T20:45:29 RT @Marisa_C: Usually overplan - forget that smtms less is more #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:45:47 RT @Marisa_C: Usually overplan - forget that smtms less is more #ELTchat
KateLloyd05 2015-10-14T20:46:15 @angelos_bollas @GlenysHanson @HadaLitim yes, once you adapt a course book activity & it works, you use it again. #ELTchat
ITLegge 2015-10-14T20:46:19 @Marisa_C #eltchat Yes! Most common problem where I work is getting that right!
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:46:22 @HadaLitim @Shaunwilden @SueAnnan @angelos_bollas @theteacherjames Indeed!  hopefully more often from now on #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:46:24 @Marisa_C I agree totally. The fewer the stages the better. It leaves more room for focus and diversions #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:47:08 @ITLegge Also, lack of LP of any kind/type/length often results in lack of (language) focus #ELTchat @Marisa_C
ITLegge 2015-10-14T20:47:32 @Marisa_C #eltchat that's why I like flowchart idea! If x happens, then choose path Y. 'Choise your own adventure' lesson :)
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:47:57 Not always true esp with YL's but fuller exploitation and change of activity with same context or material #ELTchat  https://t.co/60D4iKzzR0
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:48:04 @Marisa_C My best lessons are often those I go in wth the least material. However, I have one essential in my satchel: blank paper #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:48:23 @ITLegge almost like a quest isn't it i really like it #ELTchat
theteacherjames 2015-10-14T20:48:47 @Marisa_C I always overplan, & always worry I’m going to run out of activities before the end, even though it’s never happened! #Eltchat
KateLloyd05 2015-10-14T20:48:52 @Marisa_C @HadaLitim same with starters #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:49:13 @ITLegge if u like flowchart idea lots of good free tools to make nice flowcharts #ELTchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:49:14 @Marisa_C I haven't taught YLs for many years now. This works with my adult GE classes #ELTchat
EnglishMyWayUK 2015-10-14T20:50:06 #eltchat We've created a guide for planning sessions  here: http://t.co/yLPIPFyB5l - part of our CPD modules here: http://t.co/hIOYz7UDtP
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:50:06 @theteacherjames having alternatives a good thing tho often u don't think of them as such #ELTchat

HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:50:30 @RustbeltBornESL @TeachingEnglish Thanks! We're chatting now using the hashtag #ELTchat
Noreen_Lam 2015-10-14T20:50:59 @ITLegge @Marisa_C agree! Makes u think of poss issues, ss strengths&weaknesses, how to deal with variety of situations. #eltchat

ITLegge 2015-10-14T20:51:45 @HadaLitim @Marisa_C I was wondering if any dogme Ts have tried it with YLs (Primary kids)? #eltchat
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:51:47 A small folder of basic T tools and resources helps fill time when I underplan #ELTchat
EnglishMyWayUK 2015-10-14T20:51:48 RT @languageeteach: How to cater to different needs - ESOLsSs have diverse abilities in skills. Need to plan accordingly #ELTchat
EnglishMyWayUK 2015-10-14T20:52:05 RT @ITLegge: @HadaLitim #eltchat aims - what I want my sts to do and steps for how I do that.
HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:52:53 @ITLegge @Marisa_C Mmmm sounds tough but I'm sure some must. It would need a very confident n experienced T methinks #ELTchat
theteacherjames 2015-10-14T20:52:55 I’ve always liked @dalecoulter’s lesson skeletons approach. Very interesting and effective. #Eltchat
RustbeltBornESL 2015-10-14T20:53:03 RT @MarekKiczkowiak: @angelos_bollas @HadaLitim you might have seen this post https://t.co/nJrWx2m6Ah where I kind of summarised my opinion…
KateLloyd05 2015-10-14T20:53:05 @ITLegge @HadaLitim @Marisa_C interesting question. Can't help thinking it would have to be very small group #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:53:24 Not early days - later tyes but don't know anyone who has dared though don't see why not #ELTchat  https://t.co/P5SjwF8DWb
ITLegge 2015-10-14T20:53:40 @HadaLitim #eltchat my main filler is my word cards (st-made definition cards for vocab). Always a good one!
theteacherjames 2015-10-14T20:53:48 @Marisa_C True, does give you more space to be flexible. #Eltchat

ITLegge 2015-10-14T20:55:21 @Marisa_C @HadaLitim you'd need guts! Especially with non-readers/writers (up to age 6 here). #eltchat

KateLloyd05 2015-10-14T20:56:10 @RustbeltBornESL @theteacherjames @Marisa_C it really annoys me when I don't get 2 freer practice, even though can do it nx lesson #eltchat
RustbeltBornESL 2015-10-14T20:56:17 @Marisa_C thanks! sorry about that!! #eltchat
RustbeltBornESL 2015-10-14T20:56:45 @angelos_bollas thanks!! Someone else just mentioned that to me, sorry about that! #eltchat
angelos_bollas 2015-10-14T20:56:55 @KateLloyd05 you can flip the classroom and assign it for hm - ask SS to record it tho #ELTchat @RustbeltBornESL @theteacherjames @Marisa_C

HadaLitim 2015-10-14T20:57:15 @ITLegge @Marisa_C OUch!! Almost reckless I'd say! Just the thought of it lol #eltchat
Marisa_C 2015-10-14T20:58:08 @HadaLitim @ITLegge I would like to try this but YL's need to have some sort of evel - Q is WHAT level - bears research #ELTchat

HadaLitim 2015-10-14T21:00:57 @theteacherjames @KateLloyd05 Freer practice and final feedback to round off. So essential! #eltchat
