Teaching Models (Part 1) 📚

PPP, TTT, and Guided Discovery are three common teaching models used in ESL (English as a Second Language) instruction:

1️⃣ PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production):
- Presentation: The teacher introduces new language concepts or structures to the students.
- Practice: Students engage in activities or exercises to practice using the new language.
- Production: Students create their own sentences or dialogues using the language they've learned.

2️⃣ TTT (Test-Teach-Test):
- Test: The teacher begins with an activity to assess what students already know about a specific language point.
- Teach: Based on the test results, the teacher provides instruction on the language concept.
- Test: Students are then given another test or activity to see if they have improved their understanding of the language point.

3️⃣ Guided Discovery:
- In this model, the teacher guides students to discover language rules or patterns on their own through interactive and exploratory activities.
- Students are encouraged to think critically, ask questions, and come to conclusions about the language.

Each model has its advantages and can be effective in different teaching contexts, depending on the students' needs.

Teaching Models (Part 2) 📚
A teaching model is a way of structuring a lesson or introducing a language point. It is useful to have a range of these techniques since a good teacher can account for individual differences in learning style and level of knowledge.

1️⃣ TPR (Total Physical Response):
• Focuses on the connection between language and physical movement.
• Students respond to commands through actions, helping to reinforce vocabulary and language structures in a kinesthetic way.

2️⃣ TBL (Task-Based Learning):
• Learning is centered around completing meaningful tasks.
• Students engage in real-life activities that require language use, promoting communication skills and problem-solving.

3️⃣ PBL (Project-Based Learning):
• Students work on extended projects that involve research, collaboration, and problem-solving.
• Language learning is integrated into the project, providing a context for meaningful language use.
