Presentation-Practice-Production

• We as teachers need to have a clear understanding that if our students does not product successfully that means that our presentation wasn't clear at all.  How can I have a perfect presentation and get my students attention ?

First,in order for your students to get your attention , your presentation of the topic should be no more than 10 min. That is the common mistake most of the teacher do , trying to get the students attention for more than 20 min explaining something that started to be boring at some point for them.

• Presentation 

*Quick introduction of the topic.

*Students- building understanding 

ex : Ask questions to the students, to exemplify the topic.

• Practice

*Students Performance

*Focus on promoting the students motivation in the content are.

*Students practice in a controlled way, chance for the students to use what they have learnt.

*Chance for the teacher to make questions to really confirm if the students really understood .

ex: Bring some handouts so they can work by their own . You can monitor their work and give feedback.

• Production

*Less controlled tasks.

**A student CAN NOT product with a filling the blank exercise 

*Group work

*Students use their own ideas.

ex:You can create a group activity so the students can demonstrate their understanding of the topic, and let them come in front of the class

According to Jeremy Harmer (2009), the PPP is a method that is widely used in teaching simple language at lower levels. Furthermore, many modern coursebooks contain examples of PPP lessons which have retained elements of structural-situation methodology and audio-lingualism. Harmer adds that there is a general consensus that PPP is just one method among many, not taking into consideration other ways of learning. It is very learning-based and takes little account of students’ acquisition abilities. However, I strongly believe that once the lesson is finished and your students have actually achieved its aim, having been able to produce language in an meaningful way, it means that the method applied was successful and effective, and only then will the teacher feel that learning has really taken place.
