The questions should relate to whether they make teaching plans before going to their respective classes or not. Find out the effects of teaching plan if they do and the effects if they do not. Get the questionnaire filled by at least 5-8 teachers to support your findings. The use of authentic material is usually considered a significant resource in language learning/teaching.

Select sample authentic material and make a lesson plan to teach any 1 of the 4 language skills. In our educational field, we come across different types of syllabi, which are prescribed by different educational institutes. Keeping in mind the above, evaluate and analyse different English text-books, prescribed by any textbook board to see how the syllabi are designed and implemented in different set-ups.
