The Principles of Lesson Planning Knowledge: In order to make a good lesson plan, teachers should have a clear picture

of the students, the syllabus, activities, language skills, language types, subject and content, and institution and its restrictions (Harmer1993: 265). Such knowledge guarantees that the activities and materials can be appropriate for lesson objectives and also for specific group of students. Variety: Variety of activity and interaction helps to make teaching and learning enjoyable, unpredictable, and de-monotonous. Classroom variety refers to different activities ranging from listening, speaking, reading, and writing, each of which has further varieties. Classroom variety also refers to a wide range of materials to be used in class. Furthermore, classroom variety means adopting different kinds of interaction, for example, lockstep, group work, pair work, and individual work. Coherence and cohesiveness: All activities serve common objectives and each activity should be connected by teachers using connective devices to make the lesson a wholeness of harmoniousness. If activities are not connected in content and purpose, there will be no flow of classroom movement. Good lesson plan is the art of mixing techniques, activities and materials in such a way that an ideal balance is created for the class (Harmer 1993: 259). Flexibility: Being flexible is very important. Following the plans rigidly tend to make the teaching flat. Also, what the teacher has prepared is not suitable for that specific class. Then it is required that the teacher should be creative and adaptable to make the classroom going smoothly and effectively. Many experienced teachers comment that they do not look at the lesson plan while teaching and that they often make impromptu changes in actual teaching.
