The level of bureacracy and amount of paperwork required by some institutions (mostly state ones) has always surprised me greatly. Luckily, in the language center where I work we have to submit only lesson topics, and this is done post-factum, at the end of each month. I am a very spontaneous person, and I also like to have a lot of flexibility to be able to adapt the lesson to what my students actually need at the moment (if I suddenly discover that something is not clear and has to be revised or explained again, I will surely stop and do that before we go on). So, our relaxed environment is ideal for me. However, my friend works in a langauge school where an amazing amount or paperwork is submitted each month by all of the 30 teachers who work there. As a result, people responsible for checking this stuff spend ages on it and are always late with actual feedback when it�s needed.

I understand having a lesson plan is very important for teaching. I agree. Well I cannot make any other template than the one they give me at the Institute :S I might propose something new though. I�ll definitely use your ideas, Alien boy. I�ll start to see a way to adjust myself to the lesson plans. Anyway I�ll use the formats and ideas you all posted.

Thank you bunches!!
