English Lesson Plan Essay

867 Words4 Pages

For the assignment in TSL 3113: Developing and Using Resources for the Primary ESL Classroom, we were given the task to prepare a one-hour lesson plan in a group of 3, and then each of us need to create our own teaching and learning material. It is crucial for us, future teachers to be able to create a lesson plan that suits certain topic and specific level of learning. In addition, a well-planned lesson plan will have its own teaching materials.
For this task, I had chosen to prepare a Terabai, which is an Iban’s shield (Appendix 1).

It can also be adapted for different topic such as “Traditional Dances in Malaysia” as Terabai is used in Ngajat dance. Terabai can also motivate and engage the pupils in the lesson as it is quite rare for a teacher to bring a Terabai on a daily basis. According to Tomlinson (2011), a good material should engage pupils both effectively and cognitively in the learning process. Trowbridge, (2006) agreed by claiming that Kinesthetic learners who learn best by moving around and Visual / Spatial learners, who love making things will find arts and crafts activities

    It provides the most effective learning condition which is the gap between what the learners can and cannot do without help in the ZPD. When planning the scaffold, a teacher should consider the designed-in scaffold, where the teacher has to plan before a teacher and the interactional contingent which is the situation in the classroom context. The teacher can provide the scaffold to learners during listening and speaking class to help the learners to decode and meaning build the sound they heard.
