Planning an EFL lesson, as a preview of the whole instructive process before it is taken up for execution, involves careful thinking about the traditional and online tools to be used for its successful completion. As far as language teaching is concerned, planning involves the teacher’s skill in the selection of the material, the techniques or method or approaches to be employed, the activities to be taken up, and in getting the pupils involved in the successful completion of the lesson assignments. It is a complete preview of the difficulties likely to occur in the course of the lesson, of introducing new teaching approaches and strategies while using various updated technologies. This week we are inviting you to set up new instructive goals for your students through a well-designed process of an instructive immersion on online platforms.
