Jason Anderson: Contemporary lesson planning frameworks in TESOL
Jason Anderson is a teacher educator, educational consultant, award-winning author, and researcher, who works in both language teaching and mainstream education. He has supported teachers in over 30 countries around the world for organizations including UNICEF, the British Council and Warwick University, and published widely on areas including multilingualism, teaching methodology, teacher reflection and lesson planning. His website includes a wide range of free resources and talks for language teachers and teacher educators, as well as links to his published titles: www.jasonanderson.org.uk
This talk will explore both well known frameworks for structuring lessons (e.g., PPP, TBLT), and my recent contributions in this area (CAP, TATE), considering them from the perspectives of pre-service education, novice teacher development, and in experienced teachers' practice, with reference both to private language school ELT and more challenging state school contexts. We will explore how these frameworks can scaffold teacher development as we move towards freer, more responsive approaches to lesson planning and in-class improvisation as knowledge and confidence increase. Participants will be invited to reflect on their own use of such frameworks and offer their own perspectives on the teacher education trajectory proposed.
