What is PPP????? Check it out!!!

1.      Technique Definition

PPP is one of the most popular techniques in ESL classroom. PPP stands for presentation, practice, and production. In ESL classroom, PPP technique is a very effective teaching technique.

Each stage of the Presentation, Practice and Production lesson must be planned well to be effective. However, PPP is a highly flexible approach to teaching and there are many different activities a teacher can employ for each stage. Moreover, teacher can integrate skills and components easily by using this technique.

Here are the tree principles of PPP technique in ESL classroom:

1. Presentation

Presentation involves the building of a situation requiring natural and logical use of the new language.  When the "situation" is recognized and understood by the students, they will then start instinctively building a conceptual understanding of the meaning behind the new language, and why it will be relevant and useful to them.  When the situation surrounding the new language and the conceptual meaning of it has been achieved, the new language should be introduced by means of a linguistic "model".  It is this model that the students will go on to practice and hopefully achieve naturally without help during a productive activity. 

2. Practice

It is important that practice activities are appropriate to the language being learned and the level and competence of the students.  Essentially Practice is the testing procedure for accuracy, and the frequency procedure for familiarity with the language.  It is also a remedial stage.  A good way to summarize effective Practice is to see it as repetition leading to competence and accuracy in terms of Phonology and Syntax.

3. Production

Generally Production involves creating a situation requiring the language that was introduced in the Presentation Stage.  That situation should result in the students "producing" more personalized language.  Production is highly dependent on the Practice Stage, because if students do not have confidence in the language then they will naturally be hesitant to independently "use" it. 

Suitable activities for PPP technique:

1. Presentation: miming, drawing, using flashcards, watching videos, slide shows, showing pictures, listening audio, touching the items, bringing materials into classrooms, and observing indoor or outdoor.

2. Practice: Memory games, Word hunt, Crossword puzzles, Shopping lists, writing drilling exercises, Questions and answers, playing games, dialogue practice, ticking items, summarizing, answering true or false questions, filling in gaps, filling in charts, finding the mistakes, and matching words and pictures.

3.Production: Dialogues, Drama, Role- play, Making summary, Gap filling exercises, Using synonyms and antonyms, Taking surveys, Discussion, Debates, Storytelling, Questions and answer games, Writing descriptions, Writing letters,  Writing diary, Writing essay, Writing short stories, and Writing short biography of a family members or famous people

2.      Skill or Component

Skills or components that can be taught through this technique are writing, listening, and vocabulary.

3.      The Procedure

If we want to teach writing, for example teaching descriptive text about place, teacher can do these steps:

·         Asking the students about places they like to visit and then asking them to describe it a little more.

·         Activating the students’ prior knowledge by asking what they have already known about descriptive text.

·         Showing them a picture of a famous place. (Presentation)

·         Asking the students to write some descriptions based on the picture and teacher can help them in this stage. (Practice)

·         Discussing their work whether they have question or not.

·         Presenting new picture

·         They make a new paragraph by themselves without teacher’s help. (Production)

If we want to teach listening, for example teaching expressions of love trough dialogue, teacher can do these steps:

·         Activating their prior knowledge about how to show or express love to someone or something

·         Inviting them to listen a dialogue about expressing love from native speaker. (Presentation)

·         Providing blank dialogue to the students.

·         Students listen to the dialogue from the tape while filling the blank part on the dialogue. (Practice)

·         Teacher gives another blank dialogue to the students.

·         While the students listen to the dialogue, they write the blank part on their paper or they can write the whole part of the dialogue. (Production)

If we want to teach vocabulary, for example teaching verb, teacher can do these steps:

• Presenting the new verb and explains the form of the language in a meaningful context. (Presentation)
• The students practice this new vocabulary through controlled activities such as worksheets, games or question and answer activities.(Practice)
• The students use or produce what they have learned in a communicative activity such as a role-play, communication game, making sentences or question and answer session. (Production)

4.      The Strength and The Weaknesses

The Strengths of this technique:

• Offers teachers and learners a logical sequence;
• Particularly useful to newly-qualified Ts (framework/template);
• Many learners are comfortable with and expect teacher-led presentation-driven lessons;
•  PPP makes teaching measurable (teaching performance can be rated on how many learners get it.)
•  Easily integrated into course books.

The Weaknesses of this technique:

• It is repetitive (therefore tedious);
• Students generally fail to use TL beyond the classroom;
• Teacher-centered;
• Too much time spent on presentation;
• PPP misleads teachers about what makes a good lesson.

5.      Conclusion

PPP is a technique that is used mostly in ESL classroom. PPP stands for presentation, practice, and production, and it is usually used for teaching speaking and listening. However, if we make some modifications in its activities, we can use it to teach every skills and language components in integrated way.

Lesson Plan for English Teacher

Again, lesson plan sometimes makes teachers stress, they (senior teacher) felt no need to make lesson plans; they for them just as the fulfillment of the obligations in the administration of school. Hhhhmmmm this country is confusing.
Lesson plan in teaching process is very necessary to do in order to improve the quality of education. When education that is attained by students is good, it is expected that students get good results as well, as the national education goals: to develop students' potentials in order to become a man who is faithful and devoted to God Almighty, noble, healthy, knowledgeable, skilled, creative, independent, and become citizens of a democratic and accountable.

 According to Law No. 20 of 2003 Article 36 Paragraph 1 and 2 said that the implementation of these educational purposes, one of which is determined through the development of national curriculum standards based education and in accordance with the principle of diversification of educational units, the potential of the area, and learners.

Making a lesson plan is very important because in lesson plan load on the purpose of learning where each item will have a different purpose. Additionally lesson plan also includes material on planning, design props, methods of teaching and learning procedures. Minimally by making lesson plans teachers will know what material would they teach to their students tomorrow.

So, here are some lesson plans that I've designed by my self. Hopefully they can help you in producing a good quality teaching.
