Enhancing an Effective EFL Classroom through Lesson Planning

Outcome based education OBE is being carried out in university education in Myanmar. It involves assessments and evaluation practice to reflect certain specific outcomes. And there is also paradigm shift to learner centred learning in teaching learning situations. So in EFL classrooms in Myanmar, the effective use of interactive activities is essential for students being exposed to voluntary learning in a given time limit. To fulfil this gap, the author tried to ingest suitable interactive activities and structured activities in her lesson planning to save time and to meet expectations for the outcomes. The target students were 30 of fourth year students at Technological University Kyaukse . A case study using a carefully prepared lesson plan was done to find out effectiveness achieved. The results show that the involvement of students was raised up not only by the intrinsic nature of interactive activities but also by the assessment plans. So it is hoped that this paper would be able to point out that lesson planning ahead of time is necessarily needed so that adaptations and required activities can be made well and required assessment plans can be set as roadmaps for students and teachers alike.
