Teaching plan — guide for teachers

You choose a subject area and level, write a few lines about the topic, and after about half a minute, a draft appears on the screen — divided into sections that you can edit individually. Everything you create is saved under My lesson plans.

How it works

You can find the tool in the Staffroom, or go directly to Lesson plans. Click New lesson plan and fill in:

• Subject area — Norwegian or FOV (preparatory adult education).
• Level — A0, A1, A2, B1, or B2. Applies when you have selected Norwegian; A2 is selected by default.
• Subject and Module — applies when you have selected FOV. The subjects are Norwegian, English, Mathematics, Natural Science, and Social Studies, and the modules are Foundation Module and Modules 1–4.
• Topic or theme — what the session should be about, for example, "Booking a doctor's appointment".
• Target group — optional, for example, "adults on Track 1".
• Language — whether the content should be written in Norwegian or English.

Click Create lesson plan. Språki uses the level description and competence aims for the level, or for the subject and module you selected, as a basis, and writes for adult learners.

The draft is saved automatically as you work, and Save is located at the top if you want to save manually. Each section has a pencil icon for editing text, and a magic wand icon — Let AI edit this part — where you can write an instruction like "make the language simpler" or "add a roleplay". With Download, you can get the plan as a Word (.docx) or PDF file. Create presentation builds a student-facing slide deck from the plan, and Open presentation takes you to Presentations, where you can edit it.

What a lesson plan includes

• Overview — title, level, duration, target group, and a short summary.
• Learning objectives — subject goals and language goals side by side. The idea is that the subject teacher is also a language teacher.
• Key vocabulary — a handful of words with short explanations and example sentences.
• Materials — the equipment and resources you need to have ready.
• Lesson structure — the phases in sequence, each with a time estimate, working method (individual, pair, group, plenary, I-P-G), and what the teacher and student do. Phases can be edited, moved up and down, deleted, and you can click Add phase.
• Differentiation — split into More support and More challenge.
• Assessment — signs of learning and criteria for achieving the goals.
• Homework and Tips for the teacher.

Who it is for

The tool is for teachers in adult education: Norwegian teachers at levels A0–B2, and subject teachers in FOV. The content is written for adult participants, so the topics and examples remain mature even at the lowest levels. It is located in the teacher section of Språki and is not visible to your student accounts.

What you get is a draft — not a finished lesson. Språki does not know your group, how far you have progressed, who needs extra support, or what happened last week. You must assess time estimates, difficulty levels, and examples yourself, and subject details may contain errors, so read through it before bringing the plan into the classroom. The pedagogical assessment is yours.

Suggestions for working with Lesson Plans

1. Be specific with the topic. "Booking a doctor's appointment by phone" yields a more practical structure than "health".
2. Start with a session you are planning to teach this week anyway, and use the draft as a backbone rather than planning from a blank page.
3. Review the Lesson structure first. Adjust the minutes to fit the actual session, and delete or add phases to suit your class.
4. Use Let AI edit this part on one section at a time — "shorter sentences in the explanations", "more spoken pair activities" — instead of generating the entire plan from scratch.
5. Click Create presentation once the plan is set, and fine-tune the slides in Presentations before class.
6. Check Shared lesson plans before creating something new for a common topic. You can search by title and keywords, and filter by subject area, level, subject, and module.

Good to know

• Shared plans are reviewed before becoming visible. If you check Share with other teachers, the plan is submitted for review by Språki. Only after it is approved will it appear in the Shared lesson plans tab for other teachers. Until then, it is only visible to you.
• Everything is saved as you work. Changes are saved shortly after you edit. If something goes wrong, the button will show "Not saved" — click Save to try again.
• The presentation becomes your own copy. When you open a presentation from a lesson plan, you get an editable copy in Presentations. This also applies when you open the presentation of a shared plan from another teacher.
• The level and module guide the content. Your selection determines which competence aims and level description Språki uses as a foundation, so it pays to choose correctly before clicking Create lesson plan rather than adjusting afterwards.
