Background to language teaching - Presentation techniques and introductory activities - Unit 16


Another important part of teaching was this unit about Presentation techniques and introductory activities. An effective teacher is an excellent communicator and therefore thinks about improving his or her presentation skills. One of the most important aspects of communicating is shaping both content and style to fit your audience. In the classroom, if you cannot communicate in a way that is both comprehensible and interesting to your students, their learning will be greatly reduced.

Two ways of presenting new language to learners are the following: The presentation, Practice and Production and the Task-Based learning. The first one which main aim is to focus on the lesson by making them comprehend the lesson and the second one is to make students complete a task. There are introductory activities that help teacher to  make students understand or get familiar with the new lesson. 



Moreover, warmers, lead-ins can also take the student´s attention  and help to succeed in the lesson.
We as future teachers may choose the best way of presenting information to students either the PPP or the TBL should be focused in the main goal that is the language learning.
