Hello, Rosemary.

It is far too vague to be of much use - I mean, what in the world is meant by 'extra activities'? Those have to be devised and itemized.

I don't think it is particularly efficient language learning to divide it up into vocabulary and grammar (which is all this 'plan' seems to have done), but at least you need to research and specify texts, materials and activities in much greater detail. You also need to think how one activity supports and augments the others, both on the same day and within the 3-day rotation.

Hello,

I am not sure but maybe in one of the extra activities this person meant watching English movies.

Would you please give me an example of a lesson plan for one day?

Here's a good one from the internet, Rosemary. Notice how the activities relate to each other and cover the different areas of learning - reading, writing, listening and speaking:

English lesson – Traveling

At the beginning of the English lesson ‘Traveling’, students are offered twelve pictures of different types of transport which they should match with the following words: train, jet, cruise ship, car, yacht, ferry, truck, airplane, submarine, bicycle, helicopter, and bus. When students have identified all means of transport, they should sort them into three categories according to the way of traveling, such as by land, by air, or by sea. After doing this, students should further distribute all transport under the headings: vessel, vehicle, and aircraft.

The next activity encourages students to discuss advantages and disadvantages of all types of transport using superlatives such as ‘Which of these transports is the fastest, slowest, cheapest?’ etc. Having discussed this, students move to the next exercise which is to match different types of holidays with their definitions. The holidays include: package holiday, camping, cruising, and backpacking.

The next activity is to complete a dialogue with the missing words. The dialogue is based on the situation where a man is calling his travel agent and books a trip to Spain. Once the students have completed the dialogue, the teacher asks them to practice reading the dialogue is pairs, and then try to act it out relying on memory only.

The teacher shouldn’t ask the students to learn the dialogue by heart, but rather encourage them to write the hints for the dialogue, and then verbalize it with their own words. The lesson finishes with a crossword puzzle to solve either in class or at home.
