2. Lesson objectives
Objective: to help participants to explore and practise establishing lesson objectives
Time: 30 minutes
Materials: Handout 1
Interaction: group work, plenary
Procedure:
 Ask participants why it is important to identify the objectives of the lesson. Elicit responses in plenary.
 Establish that identifying objectives of the lesson is important because teachers need to know what they hope to achieve and what it is they want their pupils to be able to do at the end of the lesson that they couldn’t do before.
 Write the following on the board (alternatively, prepare a poster beforehand):
Objectives:
 to help pupils practise use of the Simple Present Tense for related activities, expressions of frequency, as well as words and expressions associated with household chores;
 to enable pupils to talk about common, everyday household chores.
 Ask participants to work in groups of 3-4 to decide which lesson in Handout 1the objectives on the board belong. Distribute Handout 1 to participants and ask them to do the task.
 Discuss the answers in plenary.
Answer key: Lesson C.
 Ask participants to look at the objectives again, this time focussing on the language used for writing them, and to decide why the teacher used ‘to help practise’ and ‘to enable’ instead of ‘to teach’.
Answer key: These verbs are learner-centred and mean that pupils will be involved actively in the lesson. The verb ‘to teach’ does not imply that pupils are involved in the lesson. Teaching does not always mean learning.
 Draw the following table on the board.
Learner- centred Teacher- centred
 Ask participants to copy the table into their notebooks. Tell that you will dictate verb phrases used for writing lesson objectives and that they will have to write them in the correct column.
 Dictate the following verb phrases: to help pupils to discuss, to present, to give opportunity to practise, to enable, to explain, to help pupils to explore  Discuss the answers in plenary.
Answer keys: Learner- centred: to help pupils to discuss, to give opportunity to practise, to enable, to help pupils to explore
Teacher-centred: to present, to explain
 Briefly ask participants to give the meaning of each verb phrase and to suggest their equivalents in their native language(s).
 Tell participants that now they will practise writing lesson objectives using learner centred verb phrases.
 Tell participants that they will work in groups and write objectives for the other lessons in Handout 1. Remind them to use the learner centred verb phrases.
 Put participants in groups and allocate the remaining three lessons (Lessons A, B and D) to different groups.
 When groups finish, ask them to display their lessons and objectives on the wall, to walk around, to read other groups’ lessons and objectives and to comment on them.
 To initiate feedback and summarise ask participants the following questions and elicit responses in plenary:
o Which objectives did you like? Why?
o Which objectives do you think should be changed? Why? How they should be changed?
