All
teachers face the problem of students who are either too
careful in speaking or too careless. It can be frustrating
listening to the first kind as they form their sentences
in their mind and it can be impossible to understand the
second kind as they talk without correcting their language.
Scott Thornbury looks at how the PPP model (Presentation,
Practice, Production) claims to deal with this problem and
then offers some practical solutions of his own. His opinion?
We need to "abandon once and for all the one-track
model of learning enshrined in the PPP methodology."
