            The concept of approaches, methods and techniques may make some university students and teachers get confuse. As an English teacher the knowledge of these concepts are very important so that we can equip ourselves as a teacher to organize our classroom practices. Teacher as an individual who is put in the classroom situation and is expected to play certain set of roles. In the classroom activities where teacher interact with his students, teacher performs a number of related activities. These activities are the component elements of the teacher's overall behavior in the classroom. In other words, the teacher's behavior in the classroom consists of component acts each of which can be of two kinds. (1). a disorganized and haphazard set of acts without essential and well intended relatedness among the component acts, (2). an organized, sequential and fully related set of acts each of which is intended to serve some specified purpose. These component units of the teacher's behavior in the classroom is called techniques.

            Teacher behaves in the classroom and organizes the teaching activities in accordance to a set of proximate principles which are either the teacher's own mental construct or are based on recommendations by experts. These proximate principles or guidelines are called methods. These proximate guidelines are directly linked to two factors. (1). The teacher's own understanding of an insights into the nature or language, the child and of classroom practices themselves, (2). Theories which are directly intended to highlight classroom practices in general language teaching in particular. These comparatively remote principles and theories which on the one hand highlight the language behavior in the classroom, and on the other indirectly control the teacher's classroom performance are known as approaches. The approaches further are determined by the theories on language which may psychological theories or linguistic theories.

How to Write a Lesson Plan: 5 Secrets of Writing Great Lesson Plans

                Writing a lesson plan will ensure that you are prepared for your class and will make it run more smoothly. It is important to break the material up into several sections and choose activities suitable for each. Knowing approximately how much time an activity will take is important, but after the first lesson you may need to adjust things accordingly. It is best to be flexible seeing as different classes will respond to material differently. If at any point students struggle, you will have to dedicate more time to instruction or drilling before moving on to practice activities. For the purposes of this example let’s assume that an English class is forty-five minutes long.

How To Proceed

1.Warm up

A warm up activity can be used in a number of ways. It can get your students thinking about material that will be used later on in the class, review material from a previous class, or simply get your students thinking in English, moving around, or awake. This activity should only take up a small portion of your lesson, perhaps five minutes.

2.Introduction

A good introduction will create a need for students to learn the material you are going to present and get them interested in the day’s topic. This is the part of the lesson where the teacher does the most talking so try to get students involved and use choral repetition to keep students talking about half the time. Depending on how complex the topic is or how much new vocabulary there is, the introduction could take some time but in most cases, about ten minutes should be sufficient.

3.Practice

The practice activity would normally be about ten minutes and have students working individually or in pairs. Practicing model dialogues, completing worksheets, and doing short activities would be appropriate. This may take about ten minutes including going over the answers or having some demonstrations.

4.Production

In the production activity students should have to produce material on their own. Rather than reading sentences, perhaps they have to answer questions or make their own sentences. Longer activities such as board games, which can be played in groups, or activities for the whole class, where students work in teams, would be best. The remaining class time can be devoted to this activity.

 5.Review

It is a good idea to plan another five minute activity that can be done at the end of class as a review or used as the warm up in the following lesson. If the production activity does not take up the remaining portion of the class period, you have a backup plan.
