Presentation Practice & Production The PPP Method Presentation Practice & Production

Presentation Practice Production What does PPP stand for? The PPP is a successful teaching method and is widely used throughout the world by many EFL and ESL teachers. Every PPP lesson has a language aim, which students should fulfill by the end of it. The PPP can be applied to teach grammar items, functions, vocabulary and even pronunciation. 1 The teacher introduces a situation and presents the target language (L2) in context. 2 Students practice the target language (L2) items using accurate reproduction techniques. 3 Students use the target language (L2) and make sentences of their own.

PRESENTATION STAGE A C T I V I T I E S BRAINSTORMING: The teacher elicits some activities the students enjoy doing at the weekends. The presentation stage usually consists of two steps: An introductory activity such as a warm-up or a lead-in, which is an activity intended to raise students’ interest in the topic. An introduction of the target language (L2). CHORAL REPETITION: The suggested ideas are written on the board and the teacher helps with any pronunciation problems there might be during this step. PLACING WORDS INTO A CONTEXT: The teacher uses students' ideas to make sentences in the present continuous and talks about his/her own arrangements for the weekend. The language item is introduced in a contextualized way, which is very important at the presentation stage of the lesson.

PRACTICE STAGE In the practice stage, the focus is on form. A C T I V I T I E S CHORAL DRILLS: Students repeat the sentences on the board, using the present continuous. In the practice stage, the focus is on form. The teacher provides opportunities for students to practice the learnt items in a controlled way through restricted exercises. This is a chance for the students to use what they have learnt without making mistakes. Students are monitored and all mistakes are corrected. FOCUS ON FORM: The teacher explains the grammatical use of L2 referring the present ontinuous to its function: making future arrangements. MONITORING: The teachers asks conceptual questions to check whether students have understood the use of L2. GAP-FILLING EXERCISE: Students fill in the gaps of sentences with the present continuous form of the verbs in brackets.

PRODUCTION STAGE A C T I V I T I E S Students use what they have been taught in real-situation like activities. The production stage focuses on fluency and provides students with an opportunity to personalize the language through less controlled tasks. Students interact by doing communicative tasks. COMMUNICATIVE TASK The teacher gives a copy of a blank weekly schedule for students to complete with some arrangements and activities of their own. The students work in pairs, asking about what they are doing at specific days and times of the week and which arrangements they have. The students could try to find out each other's free time in their timetables and make arrangements between themselves.
