Unit 16 Background to language teaching

In this unit we talked about presentation techniques that are the ways used by the teacher to focus learner’s attention on meanings, form. Introductory activities are activities used by a teacher to present a lesson or teaching topic.

In the PPP lesson the teacher first puts the target language into a situation in which shows what it means then they elicit the language. Teacher should use choral drills in each lesson. If we want to use task-based learning the aim of it it’s to complete tasks, the teacher contextualize the topic, then he/she with the students discuss any new or problematic language they need.

The PPP and TBL are used to present new language to learners in which they use comprehension by underline examples in the target language then workout in meaning for example by using guided discovery to present the target language. Another way of focusing on new language is through Test-teach-test, the teacher first gives learners a task where they have to use the target language.
