Why plan lessons?

Lesson planing helps give the lesson a frame, an over all shape, teachers plan because they need to have a destination that they want their students to reach . It allow teachers to think about where they are going and gives them time to prepare ideas for tomorrow`s lessons . No plans are written on tables of stones, however of course good teachers are flexible and respond creatively to what happen in class.Lesson planning strongly shows the level of professionalism and commitment.
For students, evidence of lesson plan shows them that the teacher has devoted time to think about the class.

Is language teaching an art or a science?

Students take all the teaching rules altogether but the effort of the teacher is to make lessons comfortable and spontaneous named art. 

 Science is a body of facts gained and verified by observations and correct thinking. It relates to something to be known.
Art   is the purposeful exercise of human realization of a partly aesthetic end. 
A teacher is a scientific in so far he is a master of the body of facts contained in the science which are the basis of his subject. A teacher is an artist in so far as he uses these sciences expertly. 

Class Room Management:

Class Room Management: Its  term used to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite destructive  behavior by students for example (Policies).
Seating Arrangement is one of those rules, it can be determined by the type of learning activities the teacher plans to focus on, or what the learning objectives of each lesson.
Row seat, circle or semi-circle seat,pairs,groups and clusters of separated tables.
