ANSWERSee image
What are the benefits of using a PPP lesson preparation style? - ANSWER- Ideal format for guiding

- It maximises STT (student talking time).
What happens in the 'production (free)' section of the PPP lesson? - ANSWEROnce students have
grasped what has been taught and practised it with little difficulty.
Gives time to practise new target language with all previous knowledge.
Focus is on fluency, rather than accuracy.
Students engage in activities, mostly independently.
Roleplay/ group discussions good activity choices.
Takes 30-50% of lesson time and is STT.
, What is the structure of the ESA (Engage, Study, Activate) style lesson preparation? - ANSWERSee
Image
What are the benefits of using a ESA lesson preparation style? - ANSWER-It allows you to move
backwards and forwards in the lesson stages (useful when recapturing interest).
-It's similar to PPP style.
- Suits lessons which focus on vocabulary and grammar.
- Allows for a lot of eliciting and STT.
- More flexible than PPP
What happens in the 'engage' section of the ESA lesson? - ANSWER- Teacher gets students interested
and involved in lessons so they are more stimulating and fun.
- Reduce inhibitions & relaxes students= environment conducive to learning.
- Necessary for students get involved.

- Engaging students
- Reviewing what they already know
- Sets scene for/ introduces the lesson topic.
What happens in the 'presentation' section of the PPP lesson? - ANSWER- The second part of the
lesson
- Be 10-30% of the lesson
- Will start using target language.
This stage features the most TTT (around 50% of time explaining language features but aim to
include students as much as possible)
- Will build on student's prior knowledge
- Need to concept check.
- Need to teach the following three things
