Abstract


The current study analyzes the Lesson Plans (LPs) designed by the English teachers taking part in the PPG (Pendidikan Profesi Guru). The constructions of the learning objectives, teaching and learning activities, assessments, or exercises often still create burdens on the teachers. Therefore, it is important to investigate them. This study aims to examine the formulations and the alignments of the three mentioned elements of the teachers’ LPs. This document analysis deals with scrutinizing 60 EFL LPs making use of the Lesson Plan Analysis Table settled. The results of the analysis show examples of how the three components under study are formulated, and how they are aligned or related to each other. They are categorized into four, namely 1. ‘Perfectly Aligned’ (the three components are all aligned to each other); 2.‘Imperfectly Aligned’ (the three components are all there but one of them is not aligned with the other two); 3. ‘Perfectly Unaligned’ (there are three components but none is aligned to each other); and those 4. ‘Misaligned’ (the three components are incompletely written in the LPs - having neither one of the Learning Objectives, Activities, nor Assessments).
