As a Good Tutor
The CELTA method of lesson planning starts with the main aim of the lesson. I would then decide what lesson framework to follow. Once the most suitable approach for a skills (receptive or productive) lesson or a systems (grammar, lexis, functions) lesson has been chosen, I then decide what is the aim of each stage for that particular approach. The language must suit the context and the main content of the text should be presented as functional and situational language.
