The scheme of a theme plan is not invariable. The teacher according to the definite conditions of teaching/learning process can change it. Besides, a creative teacher cannot but introduce changes drawn from his teaching experience.

Conclusions

In this talk we have considered a lesson as the main organisational form and unit of teaching. We have defined major requirements to a foreign language lesson as follows: its communicative orientation; integrity; correspondence to the aim and the means of teaching; high level of the learners’ thinking and verbal activity; maximum variety of forms in students’ activities; ensuring motivation of learning activity. Our next concern has been the teacher of English seen in the view of teacher-student co-operation and the dimensions of his roles in the lesson. We have then discussed types and kinds of lesson and a system of lessons. We then dwelled upon variable and invariable lesson components. Teacher preparation for the lesson has been viewed as a decision making process resulting in a separate lesson plan, which, in its turn, is an integral part of long period planning.
