This includes a review (revision) of the previous lesson linked to this new lesson through
questions and answers to elicit conversation using the new structure and function and to show
examples of what the students will learn in this lesson.
Presentation
In the presentation, the teacher does about 75% of the speaking. In this context, teachers present
new concepts, model vocabulary/structure/function, etc. to the class.
Practice
Students occupy about 60% of the time, teachers 40%. In their contributions, students are
expected to model vocabulary, dialogue, pronunciation, intonation, etc. A practice exercise is
used for pair/group work that is monitored by the teacher. Practice is done by the students at their
desks, and it should progress from basic level to more advanced. At this point, students’
performance should not be graded.
Application
Students speak, write, listen and practice what they have learned on individual bases. Students
occupy 90% of the time, teachers 10% - only to correct if necessary. A production exercise is
given - generally not the same sheet of exercise/activity that was done in the practice section.
Assessment
For each activity, the teacher will assess how well students are using the target language
structures via discussion and recapitulation of what has been covered in class.
Follow-up
Homework: Teachers assign some activities as homework.
Next class: Students will have to submit HW to the teacher /perform in front of the class.
