Unit 21 - Planning an individual lesson or a sequence of lessons

How do we plan an individual lesson or a sequence of lessons?

When we plan an individual lesson, we think about it aims, how to achieve them, the ‘shape’ of the lesson and the kind of techniques that are most appropriate for a particular group of learners.
