The research is a quantitative study in which the data is obtained to get a great understanding on the relationship between lesson plan of Iranian English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers and teachers ’gender. The population included 93 teachers in Eyvan and Ilam, Iran high schools and institutes. Participants in this study answered a Modified Questionnaire, adopted from Ramaila et al (2014) . Independent sample t-test was computed to determine the difference between teachers ’ attitudes towards lesson plan and their gender. Through statistically analysis it was found that, the female teachers were more interested in use of lesson plan than the male teachers.

Introduction  \nLesson planning is an effective way for increasing the quality of education. Lesson planning is a process for defining the goals and understanding the needs, specifying available tools and possible limitations. According to Asfaw (2002), planning is the primary step of teaching & learning employed in the class & also organizes some activities for the class. So lesson plan seems to be helpful for a teacher to present the materials effectively. On the other hand, lack of a welldefine lesson plan may result a more problematic atmosphere for a teacher & consequently less beneficial achievement outcomes. Saberian and Salemi (2002), defined lesson plan as a process for the determination of appropriate educational goals and diagnosis of issues, needs, facilities, and limitations which are on the way of reaching educational goals. Having appropriate curriculum and lesson plan, creates a lively and active atmosphere in the class and encourage students to participate in the process of learning-teaching. Ghazi and Fallahi (2011) argued that lesson plan is the written description of the learning process in which it is shown what, how, when, and where should be learned and is evaluated. According to Steinert (2005) planning training courses are based on learner needs and training is based on lesson plan lead to effectiveness of training courses.  \nHarmer (2007), viewed a lesson plan as a teaching preparation developed based on the teacher’s thought about what will be suitable for the students and on what the curriculum or the syllabus expects them to do. As asserted by Richardsand Bohlke (2011), “planning a lesson before teaching is considered essential in order to teach an effective lesson”(p.35) . According to van der Walt (1990:30-36) the teacher should plan the materials in the syllabus in a way that will reflect his/her own theories about language learning & teaching.
