About these lesson plans
These 58 Form One English lesson plans follow the competence-based planning format used with the new TIE curriculum. They cover searching for information with ICT tools, listening and pronunciation, vocabulary building, oral messages, interpersonal communication, and present tenses used for routines, ongoing activities, family, occupations and possession. Most lessons are 80 minutes, with some 40-minute plans.

- Header sections: class information (registered and present learners by gender), main competence, specific competence, main activity, specific activity, teaching and learning resources, and references.
- Teaching structure: Introduction, Competence Development, Design and Realisation, each with timing, teacher activities, learning activities and assessment criteria.
- Remarks: space for your reflection after the lesson.
