Reflect
Why is lesson planning an integral part of the instructional cycle?
Lesson planning is at the heart of being an effective teacher. It is a creative process that allows us to synthesize our understanding of second language acquisition and language teaching pedagogy with our knowledge of our learners, the curriculum, and the teaching context. Without lesson planning, there might be an instance that a teacher cannot deliver her/his lesson properly and it will create unwanted/unpleasant outcomes.
