Date: Unit/Subject: Oral Language Development Instructional Plan Title: Lesson Plan for Learners with Oral Language Challenges
Lesson Summary and Focus: This lesson plan focuses on improving the oral language skills of four elementary students lagging behind their peers. Its design prioritizes their listening and speaking competencies while using diverse communication tools. Interaction with this lesson will improve their vocabulary awareness and refine their communication.  Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping: The identified students comprise boys and girls between ages 5 and 6 years old. Other unique student factors include the presence of a gifted learner, two English Language Learners (ELLs), and one with behavior concerns. These dynamics require the instructor to vary the planning, teaching, and assessment techniques to fit the unique learning needs of these learners and boost their oral skills growth through the lesson plan.   National/State Learning Standards: Arizona English Language Arts (ELA) learning standards focus on overseeing an education that develops diverse interpersonal competencies and oral communication skills for the learners. The standard addresses various learning initiatives that range from expressing and listening to ideas, collaboration with peers, information integration, and evaluation (Mesa Public Schools, 2018). ELA categorizes the standard for K-2 as K.SL.2 and outlines these key speaking and listening requirements. Educators determine performance through routine classroom questions and continuous assessments.  
Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives: • The learners should accurately express presented ideas after listening to the provided media. • Given listening media, the learners should identify interesting vocabulary and describe them orally. • The educator expects the students to engage each other in discussions about provided visual displays in class. • Learners should describe keywords underlined in class presentations and relate them as required.• Before the end of the lesson, students should ask their peers well-phased questions related to class materials. Academic Language  Role-playing Storytelling Describing gestures Collaborate in small groups Spontaneous questions about a storyWhen teaching these terms, I will engage the learners in active discussions about their uses in a class, demonstrate, and ask students to repeat my demonstrations to their peers.
