Module 5: Lesson 2 - Receptive skills lesson plan

Question 1

Refresher: what stages are involved in a skills lesson?

Answer 1

• Pre-: this stage consists of setting the scene and preparing the learners for the main skill.
• While-: in this stage, the students actually read, write, listen, or speak. It is the main section of the lesson.
• Post-: this is a logical extension of the previous activity, for example, a group discussion or teacher feedback.

Question 2

When is the PPP vs Skills lesson plans used?

Answer 2

PPP: language system lessons, such as those focused on learning grammar or vocabulary. The material is first presented, then practiced in a controlled setting, and then produced in a more unrestrained context.

Skils: focused on reading, writing, listening, and speaking, are usually structured in the three stages. Pre-stage, while-stage, and post-stage.
