This unit was a little difficult to understand for me because
I got confuse in realize what is the different between preparation techniques and
introductory activities and it can help students. So I am going to write what
each of them means. First, preparation techniques
are the ways used by the teacher to focus learners´ attention on form and meaning of the target language, when introducing them
for the first time. On the other hand, introductory activities are used by teachers
to introduce a lesson. As you can see both are the activities that a teacher
uses to introduce a lesson or teaching topic, but introductory activities are different
from presentation activities. There are two different ways of presenting new
language items; Presentation Practice
and Production (PPP) and Task-based
Learning (TBL); the first one is more appropriate for beginners’ students,
teacher guided the lesson and teacher produce the grammar explanation and the
second one is better for intermodal-advanced students, the lesson is more
centered in students and scholars have to find out how grammar works. Second,
the introductory stage of a lesson helps students to settle into the lesson and
focus on its content. There are two kinds of introductory activities that help
students into the classroom: warmers -use
to raise students ‘energy level- and lead-ins
-introduce the content of the lesson motivating
students and linking the lesson with students own live (personalization). To conclude, thinking
as a teacher I would use both preparation techniques and introductory activities,
but I would take into account the level, interest, age, weakness and strength in
English and learning style of my
students.
