I honestly wanted to use the basic procedure that Thai teachers use but unfortunately, I couldn’t understand their prepared lesson plans because they’re written in Thai language. So, I decided to use the procedure that I was taught to use but of course, with a touch of the procedures that I have observed in my mentor.

           I made a lesson plan for every topic that I was about to teach. All my lesson plans have the same procedures which are as follows:

1. Daily Routine – I would greet the class, “Good morning” or “Good afternoon”. I would also ask them if how was their day, and the like. I used this procedure to set the mood of the class where they could feel comfortable answering my questions and wouldn’t hesitate in participating.

2. Motivation – In here, I would recall the previous lesson by throwing questions and letting them raise their hands to say something about the last topic. I would also present some vocabulary words that they would likely encounter as the discussion progress. I would present words through individual or group activities.

3. Introduction of the Topic/Lesson Proper – This the procedure where I reveal the main lesson of the day and discuss it with them. I also incorporated some fun activities to make the lesson more interesting and to catch the students’ attention. I usually use “Quiz Bowl” where the class is divided into several groups and they will work together to answer the questions I flashed on the projecting screen.

4. Practice/Activity – To further know that the students understood the lesson, I would give them another individual or group activity that supplements the topic. In here, I could see what the students learned from the previous procedure. When I saw that some students didn’t get the gist of the lesson, I would somewhat explain to them in the simplest form.

5. Synthesis – I have learned from my Professors that I shouldn’t leave the classroom without giving a generalization of the lesson to the class. In line with this, I would often ask students about the things they have learned may it either be vocabulary words, activities and the lesson. After seeking for students’ learning, I would give my own summary of the lesson. This is a way of refreshing the students’ minds of what was the topic for the day.

6. Evaluation – This serves as my measurement of learning of the daily lessons. My evaluations are usually writing activities where students are asked to complete sentences based from what they have learned.

7. Assignment – I have observed in KJST that teachers don’t usually give home works to students but my lesson plan in the Philippines requires me to do it. But instead of giving another activity for students to work on to, I would just remind the class to read and study the next lesson.
