It starts by exploring the diverse characteristics that must be considered in EFL planning as a professional act and teaching competence. Thus, it tackles the importance planning acquires when designing and creating language learning situations. Taking this into consideration, this paper continues by presenting an analysis of the implementation of a teaching unit composed of nine lessons in a Year 1 of Secondary Education. The purpose of this proposal is to highlight the relevance of planning throughout the different lessons and how it can affect the language acquisition process of the students. Regardless of the different areas of improvement, the closing points confirm the importance of planning as an EFL teacher, and its benefits presented during the implementation.
