Longer term planning
You will, of course, need to link lessons together to form a coherent long-term plan. In order to do this, you will need to:
a) review and recycle areas of language: vocabulary, grammar and functions - learners forget if they don't use new language. One effective way of doing this is to always start a lesson by practising and reviewing what learners learnt in the previous lesson.
