In order to carry out this research work, it was necessary to use the scientific method as the main one in the whole research process, because it helped the researchers to find out the truth about the researched object through a contrast between the theory and the reality.

The instrument chosen to get the necessary information was the survey, which was applied to the teachers and the students of the researched high school, and in order to process the information some particular methods were used, such as: analytic-synthetic and explicative methods, and to elaborate the final report it was used the descriptive method.

Among the main conclusions of this investigation, the researchers found that only some teachers of the researched institution develop the micro and meso planning, others definitely do not plan their classes. Also, the teachers plan their meso and micro planning without taking into account techniques and activities that promote the development of the four English language skills.
