2. The 4As framework, fosters collaboration between students and teachers, thus making the learning process more student-centered. Based on Kolb’s  Experiential Learning Theory , this framework aims to approach students holistically, acknowledging their past experiences and integrating them into new learning contexts. THE FOUR A’S FRAMEWORK WHAT IS THE 4 A’s LESSON PLAN ? The 4A’s lesson plan is a framework widely used by teachers to design effective and student-centered lessons.  The term “4As” stands for Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, and Application, representing the different stages of the lesson.

3. THE 4 A’S LESSON PLAN The 4A’s lesson plan promotes active learning, critical thinking, and the practical application of language skills, fostering a comprehensive and engaging learning experience for students. It also collaboration between students and teachers, making the learning process more student- centred . Based on Kolb’s  Experiential Learning Theory , this framework aims to approach students holistically, acknowledging their past experiences and integrating them into new learning contexts. The 4A’s lesson plan is a framework widely used by teachers to design effective and student-centered lessons.  The term “4As” stands for Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, and Application, representing the different stages of the lesson. Main Purpose -         Activate prior knowledge -         Make connections through sets of activities -         Prepare the minds for new content

4. THE 4 A’S LESSON PLAN I.   Activity – (Activates prior knowledge) This will bring understanding to what the learners already know and clarity to what learners should learn further. At this early stage, the student should already have a retrospect of what they will be learning through the activity that will be presented. This phase serves as a foundation for student learning, building upon their existing knowledge while providing clarity on what they will learn. Through engaging activities, students gain a retrospective view of the topic and develop a sense of curiosity and interest. This phase lays the groundwork for a meaningful learning journey.

6. THE 4 A’S LESSON PLAN II.   Analysis – (Making connections through sets of questions) A more in-depth understanding of the lesson is another phase where the students will process and classify what is valid and not. The teacher on this part will ask further questions and will also lead as a facilitator rather than merely lecturing and sharing facts and ideas. The students now gain a wider view of the lesson but at the same time draw closer to the main topic. The Analysis phase delves deeper into the lesson, encouraging students to process and classify information. Teachers transition from a lecturing role to that of a facilitator, guiding students through thought-provoking questions. By critically evaluating the validity of concepts, students gain a wider perspective while drawing closer to the main topic. This phase encourages students to think critically and refine their understanding.

8. THE 4 A’S LESSON PLAN III. Abstraction – (Summarizing the new concept) -         The teacher on this part will now focus entirely on the lesson being presented and ask more lead questions to lead the students in reinforcing what they know and should know more. The student here starts to feel more the importance of the lesson to her and see the necessity of it to his/her life. In the Abstraction phase, teachers focus entirely on the lesson, reinforcing students’ existing knowledge while guiding them toward a deeper understanding. Through open-ended questions, teachers help students internalize the importance of the lesson and its relevance to their lives. By relating the content to real-world scenarios, students develop a sense of ownership and appreciation for the subject matter.

10. THE 4 A’S LESSON PLAN IV.    Application – (Applying knowledge to a new situation) -         The word itself describes the stage as bringing the student to a more practical way of using HOW are they going to use what they have learned and thinking of new ways on how it can be improved further. The Application phase prompts students to apply their learning in practical ways. By considering how they can utilize their newfound knowledge, students explore innovative ways to improve and expand upon what they have learned. This phase encourages creativity, problem-solving, and the transfer of knowledge to real-life situations.
