Presentation techniques and introductory activities Unit 16

Many presentation techniques are used for teachers to catch the students’ attention on the meaning or form of a word for the fist time; and introductory activities are the one which teachers use to give an introduction to the nest topic to the students.

Presentation, practice and production (PPP) is one of the most known techniques for a lesson, here we have the three stages that is the introduction, then lesson´s content and finally the students production; in here the teacher should put the target language in a situational presentation then have a choral drill, controlled practice and question that students have about the lesson content  other is the Task-based learning lesson where students have a model to follow in order to make their own production, but, everything start when teacher contextualize the topic. All the techniques here want to achieve the students’ confidence, then it thinks about the comprehension of the topic and also it promotes those students the work out activities. Activities like: ice-breaker or warm-ups help to activate the prior knowledge of students.

At the end teacher look for grammar structures, or functional exponents that can be meaningful, personalized or relevant for the students and the use of learning styles in class with the correct resources that support the contents on the coursebooks.
