PPPPresentation, Practice, Production. A method or model to teaching and lesson planning based on the idea of giving (presenting) small
items of language to students, providing them with opportunities to use it in
controlled ways (practice), and finally integrating it with other known
language in order to communicate (production). | |
PracticeA stage in a lesson during which students and
the teacher (or teaching materials, such as a reading text) use the presented
language in controlled and monitored activities. During this stage students get
additional practice forming sentences with the new language structure. For
example, students complete a text with new words or students answer teacher’s
questions using a new structure. | |
PragmaticsUnderstanding when language is appropriate to
use according to the context or situation surrounding it, which is often a
question of formality. | |
PrefixA bound morpheme placed at the beginning of a
word that alters the meaning of the word or root it is attached to (e.g., the
prefix “un” in unmoved means “not.”). | |
PresentationA stage in a lesson during which the teacher
gives or presents new language – new vocabulary or a new grammar structure – to
the students. | |
