Unit 16 Presentation Techniques and Introductory Activities
Presentations techniques refer to
the way the items of the language are presented to the students to get their
attention or interest in the lesson. Presentation, Practice and
Production (PPP), Task-based Learning
(TBL) and Teach-Teach-Test (TTT) are the most common
ways of presenting the language. The PPP lesson is more appropriate for
beginner students because in this the teacher guides and givesexplanations to
the students. The TBL lesson is more appropriate for intermediate or advance
learners, in these students are centered and need to find out the language
forms by themselveshe gives explanations. In the TTT lesson learners are focusedon understanding the meaning of the target language
through the use ofregalia and mine in situations. These techniques vary according to the learner’s
age, level, needs, etc. and whether they prefer to focus on the form or meaning
of the language.
On the other hand, introductory
activities refers to the way new mates, topics, lessons are introduced to the students.Warmers, ice-breakers and led-ins
are used to activate or motivate learners for a new class after a hard class,
since they help learners to stress out, get positive energy and be ready for a
new class.
Personally, in the classroom I will
apply the presentation technique according to the students’ needs, preferences
and level because of this depends what we what we want to get from them at the
end of the class. In addition, I would like to use warm-ups every day of
classes in order to get students active and ready to learn a new language item
or topic.
Great information Nataly!
ReplyDeleteYour analysis is clear and I could clarify some doubts that I have about when to use warmers, lead-ins and ice-breakers .... I also agree with about taking into account the students needs and level in order to use the right presentation technique.
