Instructional Plan Title:

Topic 5: Speak the real: News articles as major source for oral competence

Lesson Summary and Focus:

The primary goal of this lesson is to refine the oral competency of English student learners. It is undeniable that speaking is one of the hardest skills for humans to conquer as far as learning a new language is concerned. The English language learners can do better in reading, writing and listening to the English Language but be far behind in terms of speaking the language very well. Therefore, for the English learners to be competent in speaking the language in real, news articles present an avenue for improvement.

Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:

Important classroom factors that will influence this lesson include structuring the tasks so that they can be manageable and completed by the students, grouping the students so that they can help each other out before the presentation, building strong and effective teacher-student relationships and having motivational strategies to keep the students inspired to keep improving.

National/State Learning Standards:

To be competent in communicating effectively in the English language. This entails understanding and speaking orally.
