A learning plan is a simple, focused way to help your student make progress toward their goals. Agreeing on a learning plan with your student provides a sense of direction and continuity, helping their learning journey feel more purposeful and connected over time.
If you’re not sure where to start, here’s our suggestion:
- STEP 1: Consider your student’s goals, level, and areas for improvement
- STEP 2: Identify two or three areas to focus on
- STEP 3: During your first lesson, you can either share your suggestions if you’re ready to do so, or let the student know that you’ll share them at the beginning of your next lesson together if you need more time to consider. When you share your learning plan suggestions with the student, you can adapt them together if needed.
- STEP 4: Send the learning plan to your student in the chat outside of the lesson so that you both have a record of what you agreed on. Consider adding it to the “your notes” section of the lesson details, as well.
We’ve created sample learning plans for many proficiency levels and learning goals. The samples also include a list of ideas for ways to incorporate grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, communicative tasks, and reading and writing into a learning plan. You can choose to use these samples as a guide, or, if you prefer, you can rely on your own experience and expertise to meet your students’ needs.
