ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the activity of three planners in a nutshell, aim of the activity, need of the activity, time required for the activity, how the activity works and the advantages of the activity. This activity aims to involve students not only in classroom activity, but also in the planning of learning sessions. It also aims to encourage students to think about what makes a good group session, and to promote format variation, and to emphasize to students that it is their class - not the tutor's. The student group should meet together regularly to plan the class in the week preceding the session. A rota is organized and each student trio is given a general topic for their group session. They meet for a preliminary chat with the tutor and discuss both the topic and the different activities and methods that are available for formatting the classroom session.
