presentation, practice and production (PPP) a way of teaching new language in which the
teacher presents the language, gets students to practice it in exercises or other controlled
practice activities and then asks students to use the same language in a communicative way in
their practice
situational presentation a way of presenting new language through a simple story or
situation. The teacher may use pictures or other aids to help them create the situation
structural approach a way of teaching which uses a syllabus based on grammatical
structures. The order that the language is presented is usually based on how difficult it is
thought to be
task-based learning (TBL) a way of teaching in which the teacher gives students meaningful

tasks, but the main focus for students is on the task itself, e.g. project work
