Course Description

This course introduces three different lesson models: Presentation, Practice, Production (PPP); Test, Teach, Test (TTT); and Task-based Learning (TBL) and then carefully examines each of the models.

The course is for ANY teacher (newly qualified or experienced, teaching independently or in a school, using coursebooks or own material) who wishes to broaden their pedagogical awareness, be more efficient at lesson planning and deliver suitable lessons to their students.

Although I am already familiar with the PPP, TTT and TBL structures, this course gave me food for thought around the pros and cons of these types of lessons and when they are most appropriate to use. It's been a long time since I did my CELTA, so for me it was good to revisit these teaching methods and think about why we use them. * one of the slide pages early on in the course wasn't working on my computer ** when finishing the slides about the pros and cons of the teaching methods a box opens saying the course is finished and asks to be rated, but there is more to read and finish underneath. Editorial note: Thanks Josie - we'll check on the page that wasn't working!
