4.6 Critical Comparison ofLesson Plan Types4.6 Critical Comparison ofLesson Plan TypesFocuses on language formfirst. The teacher presentsgrammar or vocabulary,pupils practise it, thenproduce it. It is structuredand good for teaching newlanguage clearly.Focuses on learning contentthrough English. Language isused as a tool to understandsubject knowledge. Itdevelops both language andthinking skills.Focuses on completingmeaningful tasks. Pupils uselanguage to finish a taskbefore discussing languageform. It promotes realcommunication.Focuses on engagement andcommunication. Pupils arefirst engaged, then studythe language, and finally useit actively. It is more flexiblethan PPP.Focuses on identifyingpupils’ weaknesses first.Pupils attempt a task, theteacher teaches based onerrors, and then pupils tryagain. It is suitable formixed-ability classes.PPPESATTTTBACBL
Lesson planning is not about choosing onemethod and using it all the time. Instead,teachers must understand the purpose of eachapproach and apply it according to learningobjectives and pupil readiness. The DokumenStandard Kurikulum dan Pentaksiran (DSKP)provides direction, but teachers decide how todeliver lessons effectively.When lesson plans are clear, aligned withobjectives, and suitable for pupils, teachingbecomes more meaningful and organised. Agood teacher plans carefully, teaches flexibly,and reflects on improvement to ensureeffective learning takes place.Lesson planning is not about choosing onemethod and using it all the time.
