The students use the new language of their own (personaliscation)

Cons

If PPP is not done “enough”...

Students can speak/write but often make mistakes

If PPP is over-used...

Students will be discouraged and lose confidence when using the language (fear of being wrong)

Pros

Students remember accurately in long-term memory.

Apply it to real-life situations

Help students absorb knowledge that teachers transmit

Activities

Start with a topic like: "What did you do last weekend?"

Show some pictures to students

Students' answers

"I went to the park."

...

"I stayed at home."

Ask questions related to those pictures

Model the sentence

Correct students' mistakes

Ask students to repeat the sentence

Nominate certain students

Practice on topics that are more expansive and realistic

Provide mini-tasks for practice

Come up with games like pictionary/charades

"What does he do?"

"What time is it?"

...

"It's 3 o'clock."

"He's a doctor."

...

Solution

Carefully consider the appropriate amount of exercise/activity

Use spacing to rotate knowledge

That exercise can only be solved according to the pattern the teacher taught -> students act with the right purpose
