TEFL METHODOLOGY COMPREHENSIVE
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GRADED
A+
◉ Proficiency
Answer: Students at this level are as close to a native speaker as a
student can get, and some may have spent some time living in a
native English speaking country or environment. There should be
little accent and near perfect use of the language. This level is
often required for academic purposes, though it should be
sufficient for most employment.
◉ PPP (Lesson Plan Structure)
Answer: Presentation, Practice and Production. Ideal for guiding
students towards using the target language themselves,
progressing from controlled exercises to free practices. Also
maximizes STT (student talking time)
◉ Presentation
Answer: Teach Meaning, Pronunciation and Form of the target
language.
◉ Practice (controlled)
, Answer: Here students will practice using the language they have
learnt through structured activities that look at the meaning,
pronunciation and form of the TL.
◉ Production (Free)
Answer: The activities in the ______ stage allow them to practice
their new TL with all their previous knowledge of English brought
in. This will help them feel more natural using what they've
learned, which is the focus of this stage. We are now aiming to
improve students' fluency rather than their accuracy.
◉ ESA
Answer: Engage, Study, Activate. Allows you to Move backwards
and forwards between stages, and is used for grammar and
vocabulary lessons
◉ Engage
Answer: By reducing inhibitions and relaxing students, it creates
an environment that is more conducive to learning. It is essential
that students engage with the topic and the target language (TL)
here, as they will be working with it in other stages of the lesson.
◉ Study
Answer: Students focus on the language and how it is constructed.
The teacher will elicit the TL from students and give them the
chance to discover it for themselves.
