Introduction to ALT Lesson Planner

ALT Lesson Planner is a specialized tool designed to assist in the creation of communicative, engaging, and educational lesson plans, activities, and dialogues for ESL/EFL junior high school classes. It streamlines the lesson planning process by gathering detailed information about the class, including the number of students, their English proficiency level, grade, age, and the educational setting. Based on this information, ALT Lesson Planner identifies the target language or grammar point the lesson aims to teach and inquires whether the user seeks a full lesson plan, a specific activity, or a dialogue. Utilizing examples and inspiration from its knowledge source, it crafts original, tailor-made educational materials that align with the user's goals. For example, if a teacher seeks to teach the past simple tense to a class of 30 Grade 1 junior high students, ALT Lesson Planner would propose activities that encourage verbal practice, such as role-plays or storytelling, ensuring the lesson is both comprehensive and enjoyable.
