The teaching method known as PPP: Presentation, Practice, Production is one of the most effective methods for learning a new language. Inside the classroom, the class begins with the teacher's teacher's presentation to introduce the topic, however, the focus of this way of learningHowever, the focus of this way of learning is on the practice and production stages. practice and production stagesHowever, the focus of this way of learning is on the practice and production stages, which is where students actively develop their language skills.

Today I want to address this topic in our blog on language teaching, here you will learn what the PPP method is all about, which is widely used to help students speak English and French while developing solid and fluent production in each class. Read with me to the end and take note of each step - let's get started!

Presentation stage (Presentation)

The introduction stage is the first stage and is used by the teacher to introduce the topic and objectives of the lesson, but it is brief. The teacher may use a short video or comment on a significant event that serves as a trigger for the students to enter into linguistic context. This leads them to connect with images, words, phrases, etc., and this is how the brain is activated to search for familiar vocabulary or new ways of constructing a sentence to engage.

Practical stage (Practice)

At this stage, activities are guided. Students engage in strategically controlled and guided activities to reinforce the content presented. This may include fill-in-the-blank exercises, pronunciation practice, and structured dialogues.

It is also an ideal stage to receive immediate feedback from the teacher, which allows correcting mistakes and improving in real time. Both online and face-to-face learning have a fixed structure of beginning, development and closing according to the same PPP method, and activities can be done both ways.

As for the use of technologies for virtual classes, these are very valuable because they have online applications and platforms that allow students to practice interactively and receive feedback from other speakers involved in the conversation and instantaneously, leaving the in-depth research of the topic for home study.

Production stage (Production)

In this phase, the activities are transformed into real creative spaces. Students participate in more open-ended activities where they can use the language creatively. This may include debates, oral presentations, group projects and simulations.

What happens in an everyday class with the PPP method?

For example, in a day of classes we seek to recreate real contexts and simulate life situations for students to practice according to common activities such as leaving home, taking a bus and greeting, going to the bank to withdraw money, going to work and leading a meeting, etc. There are an infinite number of situations that can be handled in class with the PPP method.

A valuable step in the production stage is that of evaluation, since after a while the student can measure his own progress. The language teacher is always in a phase of continuous evaluation of his students and it is thanks to this accompaniment that helps to identify areas of improvement and can adjust the activities for authentic learning. Production is not achieved overnight, it is achieved in the daily practical phase and crystallizes over time. 

How to achieve fluent language production?

Fluency in speaking or writing in a new language is achieved step by step. The first thing is to know your language level in order to find the right study program to build a good linguistic foundation. 

Speaking fluency requires practice in actual production - it is not enough to understand the language; it is crucial to actively use it. To gain fluency in English, try writing journals, composing emails, or even speaking aloud in front of a mirror in the language you are learning. 

At Planeta Immiland Educationwe offer a wide variety of English and French courses designed for all ages and levels. They are structured to maximize practice and production time, ensuring that students not only learn the language, but also use it effectively and with focus for work, study or emigration to Canada. effectively and with a focus on working, studying or immigrating to Canada..
