PRESENTATION TECHNIQUES AND INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITIES.
The presentation
techniques are very used by teachers in order to get student´s attention on meaning;
it is also used to introduce new topics or lessons. There are two presentation
stages: presentation, practice and production (PPP) and task based learning (TBL) that could be applied
into the classroom but each one of them has some characteristics.
First, the presentation, practice and
production in which language is a clear aim and focus of the lesson,
here the teacher uses the targe t language into a situation then elicits the language.
Karlfried Knapp,Barbara
Seidlhofer,H. G. Widdowson in
their book (Handbook of Foreign Language Communication and Learning, 2009)explain that “this is
not so much a specific method as a more generally prescribed formulaic procedure
offered as a standard practice for prospective language teachers in their pre-
service training.”
On the other hand, we have the the task- based learning in
which the aim of the lesson is fos students to complete a task, and the teacher
must starts by conceptualizing the topic, and asks students to do a task. Peter Robinson,
in his book (Task-Based Language Learning, June, 2011)refers to “research
into task-based learning has followed a trajectory with the first four processes
being explored by early research into the effects of the interactive demands of
tasks on learning.”
So I recommend all the teaches to work out and use
these two approaches due to you can follow a process and evaluate it in a
better way.

The approaches suggested can be very useful in the classroom, but you also have to consider your pupils`age, needs and learning styles.
