Explaining
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
