Why is it important to have an objective in the lesson? Well, number one, it helps the students and you, the teacher, focus attention on what's most important in the lesson.

In this week’s episode, I talk all about content and language objectives for your EL students.

Last week, we kicked off our short and actionable summer professional development podcast episodes with an overview of mistakes many teachers make when it comes to lesson planning. We talked about time management or rather mismanagement. We talked about the fact that we don't need to know it all to plan quality lessons for our English learners. And we talked about one of the most important things about how we sometimes don't create clear goals and objectives for our lessons.

So in episode 71, I wanted to elaborate a little bit more on how you can come up with goals and objectives.

I hope this episode will leave you excited and inspired to begin or even continue planning for the upcoming year.

What you will hear about in this episode:

The difference between the content and language objectives
Why it is important to have them in your lesson plan
What the difference between the two is,
The verbs that will help you differentiate between content and language
