The structure of the EL lesson and types of lessons

There is no general scheme of the lesson structure which can be obligatory for all lessons. Some of the stages of a lesson are constant, others can be varied. A constant stage of a lesson is an involving into language atmosphere. This stage includes various tasks or activities. One of them is a phonetic drill. The atmosphere of communication created at the beginning of the lesson lasts during the whole lesson. The dominant place is given to the teacher’s communicative action related to motivation, instructions, control and evaluation.
These stages are considered as reasonable from methodical point of view:

1. 
   Involving into the language atmosphere;
   
2. 
   Explanation of the new material and algorithm of operations and actions with it;
   
3. 
   Doing exercises as practicing and activating the new material;
   
4. 
   Writing down and explanation of the homework, summarizing the lesson’s results and marking.
