I need help to finish this lesson plan! Please help me….

Hello, I’m Sungjin Oh from South Korea.
This is my 2nd lesson plan and I have to resubmit it.
Before submitting, I want you to check my plan file.
If you do so, I’d like to really appreciate you….

Class: PreIntermediate

Language point: Present continuous tense which means an action in progress, at the time of speaking.

Teaching aids: Laptop computer, Prezi(for the Engage phase), Handout(Worksheet) 1&2(One is for the Study phase and the other is for the Activate phase), Beam projector, Blackboard, Chalk

Learner objectives: – Students will be able to learn the present continuous tense.
– Students will be able to distinguish the difference between ‘Present simple tense’ and ‘Present continuous tense.’
– Students will be able to use the tense that they will learn in their everyday life when talking to someone

Personal aims: – Help the students build up their English grammar skills and understand the usage of this tense.
– Give a lot of talking and participating time to the students.
– MUST encourage students to obtain and advance this tense.
– Make an active and interesting atmosphere in order that students can correctly study the contents that they will learn during the class.

Anticipated problems for students: – Have a difficulty in using and advancing the tense.
– Maybe get a confusion in distinguishing the difference between ‘Present simple’ and ‘Present continuous.’
– During the class, some weaker students will have a difficulty in the Study phase, because this phase focuses on accuracy, not fluency.

Solution: – Continuous practicing(drilling) and let students speak with their partners through lots of activities in class(mainly in Activate phase)
– Let students participate the class actively so as to reduce their lack of confidence.
– Make a group(divide students into groups of 4, placing the stronger and weaker together)

Anticipated problems for teacher: – Students’ less participation
– Some situations that cannot be controlled by teacher may occur.
– It will be happened that teacher spend MORE than 60 mins.

Solution: – Make sure that students get to keep focusing during the whole class.
