This document provides information about lesson planning for English skills lessons. It outlines 3 main stages for lessons: warm-up, introducing new material, and practice/conclusion. It also gives tips for lesson preparation and lists several warm-up activity ideas. Some of the suggested warm-up activities include a "lie detector" game to build rapport, working with comic strips or describing pictures, practicing pronunciation with tongue twisters, and choosing topics starting with a random letter to speak about.
In this fantastic close reading activity, a small group of students listens to the class retell a reading passage, one sentence at a time. The small group attempts to answer questions based on the group re-telling by the class.
This experience was very rewarding, I do hope to be able to plan my next lesson with them using the computer lab so that I can promote ICT in the classroom.

English through pictures book 1 and a first workbook of English 1Nguyen Hiep
These three pocketbooks are the remarkable invention of I. A. Richards and Christine Gibson. Designed for learning English in the quickest and clearest way—through pictures—learners are invited right from the beginning to put widely useful words to work in key sentence patterns where meaning is clearly shown in pictures. Each sentence situation builds to a successful discovery of the next, while confirming mastery of the earlier steps. The simplified black and white drawings allow the learner to focus on the sentence patterns and on success in taking control of language. Comparisons of sentence situations can be made on the individual frames on a page and through a systematic building on all that has gone before. Workbooks included in Books I and 77 challenge and reinforce growing competencies, while at the same time providing enriched reading and writing well within the learner's grasp. Motivation for learning comes from handling increasingly complex patterns successfully and confidently.

In Improvisation Theatre, actors create a performance on the spot; there are no lines to memorise or rehearse. Improv actors use a series of activities which help them to develop their techniques in listening and connecting with other actors. They can then respond better to new contexts and create original and spontaneous plays. “(…) improvisation is characteristic of any human action that is not fully scripted and determined – which is the case in most of our daily encounters”. (Sawyer, 2011, P. 12)
This strongly resonates with the ideal context we want to provide for language learning: a supportive and safe environment where students learn to be creative, spontaneous and willing to take risks. The role of the teacher is to offer this context where structure and improvisation are in balance.
At the LSE Language Centre we have been using Improvisation activities in English for International students since 2012 and we are currently piloting it in other languages. In addition, in sessions with teachers, we explore Improv activities and applications, with the aim of inspiring teachers to incorporate these techniques into the classroom, which we think transform the student learning experience.
In this interactive workshop we will briefly present our findings, based on student feedback and teacher observation and practice a series of activities with attendees so that they experience Improv first hand.
This is my lesson plan #2 during my internship at Andres Bonifacio College in the course subject of Creative Nonfiction. I hope this will help you in making your own lesson plan, future teachers!
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Начните урок с игры, либо какого-то веселого и интересного задания,
чтобы вовлечь учащихся в урок
Introduce the subject matter
Объяснение новой грамматики и лексических единиц
Practice
Закрепление нового материала с помощью различных упражнений
Conclusion
Подведение итога урока. Попросите Вашего студента рассказать о том, что

4. Tips
Extra tasks
Всегда имейте при себе несколько дополнительных заданий, на случай, если
все задания будут сделаны и у вас останется время до конца урока.
Get your materials ready
Готовьтесь к уроку заранее, а лучше подготовьте несколько уроков про
запас.
Speak less
Учителя явно знают больше и могут сказать намного больше, чем их
ученики. Но! Во время урока именно ваши ученики должны говорить
больше (не менее 50% урока). Приучайте их читать задания и их
переводить(даже на начальных уровнях).

5. Warm-Up activities
‘Lie Detector’
Lie detector is a great way to build rapport and trust with students. This activity involves the student (and then the teacher)
writing three sentences in the chat box about him: 2 are true, and 1 will be a lie. A student and a teacher should embellish the
details slightly and write some sentences that they wouldn’t be likely to guess.
Comic strips
There are lots of simple comic strips that you can find on the internet to use for this activity. Post it up on your powerpoint
blank out the dialogue and have students make up their own.
How many things can you think of that...?
... are small enough to fit into a matchbox? ... are bigger than you are? ... are round?
... are long and thin? ... make a noise? ... people enjoy looking at?
It was the way she said it
Take one word or short sentence and ask the students to say it in as many different ways as possible. Discuss what difference
the intonation makes to the meaning in each case, or in what circumstances this intonation might be used
a) I love you. b) Oh c) Hello d) Good morning e) Well f) Come here g) Please h) You i) Yes j) No
What has just happened?
Write a series of exclamations on the board (not more than ten). In pairs or groups, students choose an exclamation, think of an
event which might have caused someone to say it, and write down a brief description of the event, using the present perfect
(e.g. “What?” – Someone hasn’t heard what was just said.) Then they choose another and do the same again. Oh! Oh?
Congratulations! I’m sorry! Great! What? No! Thanks! Welcome! Never mind! It’s a deal! Hello? Goodbye! Thank goodness!
Yes, of course! Ouch! Bad luck! Are you serious?
What are they talking about?
Write a sentence on the board in inverted commas. The students guess what the person is talking about and anything else they
can infer about the situation (what sort of person the speaker is, relationship between speaker and hearer) The students’
solution can be presented through dramatisation: the students act through the situation in which the utterance occurred: a)
”You idiot! We’ll never get it back now!” b) “I don’t approve, but if you must, you must.” c) “I can’t afford to, after what
John’s done.” d) “Found it at last! But it is too late now.” e) “You can’t? Well, we’ll just have to manage without.”

Tongue twisters
1. Give papa a cup of proper coffee in a copper coffee cup.
2. Swan swam over the sea, Swim, swan, swim! Swan swam back again Well swum, swan!

heshe should not worry about grammatical accuracy. Heshe should say anything that comes to hisher mind even if it is just
odd words and phrases.
