Unit 16 Presentation techniques and introductory activities

       It’s really important to know what presentation techniques are. Regarding this, are the ways used by the teacher to focus on learner’s attention on meaning. And, introductory activities are used by a teacher to introduce a lesson or teaching topic. On the one hand, one of the two ways of presenting new language items is called the presentation practice and production (PPP). This method is focused on the target language that language is repeated in a choral drill and is controlled. On the other hand, the teacher starts contextualizing the topic. After, both teacher and students discuss a new or problematic language. Finally, the students do a task to consolidate the language. I think that as a future teacher it’s very important to know what methods choose for students. I’d need to know what items to present which new grammatical structures, vocabulary, lexical phrases, and functional exponents. The context needs to be meaningful and relevant. As a conclusion, all of these factors are important in teaching in order to overcome the learning of the language.
