Abstract
This paper was meant to analyze teacher made lesson plans of English language for grade
seven . The methodology employed was content analysis in that selected lesson plans
prepared by teachers were content analyzed on the basis of theoretical frames of lesson
planning. In addition to the analysis of teacher made lesson plans selected teachers were classobserved
to see the extent to which planning and actual application of the teaching learning
process match.
The analysis of lesson plans made by teachers and the class observation conducted in some
selected English classes indicated that, though in various frequencies and quantities, all the
teachers used to include all the components of lesson plans in their preparation; most of the
teachers failed to write specific instructional information in their lesson plans; all the teachers
excluded criteria and condition from the instructional objectives; the expository method was
given wider space than the participatory methods; These and other findings were revealed.
