TESOL-ALIGNED LESSON PLANNING FOR INTEGRATED LANGUAGE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

This article describes a Grade 8 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom in Uzbekistan, aligned with TESOL Standards 1 and 2, and presents a lesson plan focused on environmental responsibility. The learners, aged 13–14, have limited English proficiency (IELTS Band 3–4) and are primarily exposed to English within the classroom. While they can understand simple texts and produce basic sentences, they face challenges with fluency, pronunciation, and organizing ideas in writing. The classroom emphasizes structured, teacher-guided instruction with differentiated support to meet diverse learning needs. The lesson plan integrates reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills through the theme of environmental awareness, encouraging students to identify eco-friendly actions, comprehend environmental messages, and produce short written responses. Instructional strategies include visual aids, sentence starters, guided practice, and interactive speaking tasks to build confidence and language competence. Overall, the approach aims to enhance students’ communicative abilities while fostering awareness of environmental responsibility.
