In language teaching, it is important for the teacher to know exactly what language contents will be taught and what language skills will be practiced in the lesson. In this article, the author designs a lesson plan for an audio-visual class that featured in teaching English through films. This particular lesson designed to teach students how to find the theme of a literature by applying the video clips in the classroom. The study will firstly provide a rationale for the lesson plan by engaging in a critical discussion about the methods chosen and the reasons for the sequence of each stage made within the lesson plan. Secondly, the author will give an evaluation of the texts and activities, and of their appropriateness in the context in which they are used.
