Flashcards

PPP Method Stages

The PPP method has three stages: Practice, Preparation, and Production. It moves from highly structured practice, to less structured production.

Practice Stage Focus

In the Practice stage of PPP, the main goal is accuracy in using new language structures.

Production Stage Focus

The Production stage encourages fluent and creative language use.

Sequential Learning in PPP

The PPP method progresses in a sequential order (Practice, Preparation, Production), with each stage building on the previous.

Study Notes

Presentation-Practice-Production (PPP) Method

  • PPP is a structured language teaching method used for second languages
  • Roots in behaviorism and structuralism (early 20th century)
    • Focuses on observable behaviors and reinforcement
  • Audiolingualism (1940s-1960s)
    • Popular after WWII, especially in the US
    • Emphasized repetitive drills and pattern practice
    • Similar emphasis on practice as PPP through repetition and drills
  • Communicative Language Teaching (1970s-1980s)
    • A reaction against audiolingualism's perceived artificiality
    • Focus on communication and realistic language use
  • Structural Approach
    • Focuses on language elements (vocabulary, grammar) in an organized manner
  • Contemporary Views and Criticisms
    • Criticized for being too linear and teacher-centered
    • Proponents value its clear structure and ease of use, especially for beginners

Principles of PPP

  • Gradual Introduction of Language Concepts
    • Language concepts introduced clearly, understandably, and contextually
    • Gradual introduction to avoid overwhelming learners
  • Controlled to Free Learning Environment
    • Transition from a controlled practice phase to a more open production phase
    • Allows students to first practice language in a structured way before free use
  • Emphasis on Accuracy and Fluency
    • Practice stage emphasizes accuracy; Production stage transitions to fluency
  • Sequential Learning
    • Method is sequential, each stage builds upon the previous one
    • Ensures each stage is understood and mastered before progressing
  • Repetition and Reinforcement
    • Repetitive exercises/drills in the practice stage reinforce and aid in memorization
  • Teacher's Role as Facilitator and Guide
    • Initial stages, teachers are central in presenting new material and guiding practice
    • Production stage, teacher transitions to facilitator, offering support and feedback

Balancing Form and Function

  • Balances teaching form (grammar, structure) and its function (its use in context in communication)

Adaptability to Students' Needs

  • The method is structured but allows for adapting to diverse needs, levels, and learning styles
  • Teachers can modify activities and pacing based on class progress and feedback
