Concep The General
Meaning of Presentation, Practice and Production Techniques (PPP)
In the ESL (English as the
Second Language) classroom, a common way to introduce a new word to the
classroom is the PPP technique. And it has three stages of a PPP learning here.
Firstly,
the teacher presents the new word, an event which involves the
presentation of pronunciation and spelling, all in context. Next the teacher
allows the students to practice the new word in a controlled setting,
making sure the student has understood it properly. Third is the production
stage, where there is less-controlled practice and an informal assessment of
learning where by the students get chance to use the new word in an original
way, to relate it to their knowledge and experiences. These three stages help
the student to consolidate the new word in their mental vocabulary bank.[1]
So, using PPP technique, it will develop speaking skills and students will be
easier to converse with his friends with confidence.
Presentation is a synonym by a report. So a report
is the orderly presentation of the results of the research which seeks truth
and interprets facts into constructive ideas and suggestions. A
report is normally built on research that finds, develops, or substantiates
knowledge. Once all the facts are collected, they are then organized and
presented in a report designed to meet a need for specific information.[2]
According to Colvin, “Deliberate practice is
designed specifically to improve performance with the key word being
‘designed.’ The essence of deliberate practice is continually stretching an
individual just beyond his or her current abilities”.[3]
2. Techniques are Used in PPP
Using
the technique is a very important thing to be done by a teacher in language
learning strategies in order to more effectively and efficiently. Several
definitions and technique as the basic characteristics of a classification on
the technique itself.
In the advance Learner Dictionary of Current English stated that techniques are method of doing something expertly. While Brown defined that techniques are the specific activities manifested in
the classroom that are consistent with a method and therefore in harmony with
an approach as well.[4]
Judging from the
above definition, it can be interpreted that techniques are
methods of specific ways of doing something through the activities. Thus,
techniques are more important and it is needed by anything to do everything for
getting a good result. Furthermore, it may also help teachers to facilitate the
students to get the target of language.
Some other supporting techniques that should be carried out in
classroom are presentation, practice and production, games, storytelling,
simulation and discussion. More details each of these techniques will be shown
below.
a) Presentation (Presenting
New Word and Concept)
The
teacher gives or presents new word to the all of students and students will
process newly learned word differently. Some people will use visual techniques,
some aural and others through movement. And they use a combination of all three
and for this reason it is most helpful for students to hear, see and relate
words to memorable contexts. And methods of presentation for new
vocabulary include:
1. Mime or acting
2. Drawing a picture or a symbol
3. Showing flash or word card
b) Practice
The
notion of practice in teaching methods is to help the
children use the new language you have just explained to them. The teacher can
ask the children to produce sentences or answer questions that demonstrate they
understand how to use the language correctly. In a good practice stage,
language will also be in a context which children understand. It is at this
stage that error correction is most important.[6] However, the use of
the PPP technique practice there are several
points here are
as follows:
In order to help students to get practice using
their new vocabulary, teachers need to come up with ideas for activities during
which students get opportunity to use their new words alongside their existing
knowledge. These activities could include:
1.1.
Devising written and spoken role-plays
1.2.Writing
letters
1.3.Taking
part in question and answer session with a partner
1.4.
Group questions.
Practice
is a vital part of learning new elements of a language. Teachers need to have
enjoyable games ready to help students practice their newly acquired language.
Learning through playing games can help to consolidate a student’s knowledge.
The memory is stimulated in a fun way and the words become embedded in the
student mind much more easily than if words are listed and simply repeated by
drilling.
Then,
When a teacher
asks students to
practice the words that have been granted or
that have been presented previously, the teacher must also consider
the ways that should
be used so that students are not too
burdened to the request
of the teacher as well as provide a game
that can attract
students' attention so that the goal learning becomes
more effective and
efficient.
And as for the various games that
can be applied that is including the following:
1.
Memory games
2.
Affixation: using prefixes and suffixes to make new word.
3.
Matching picture to word
4.
Giving antonyms
5.
Word searches
From the few examples
of games that can be applied in
teaching English, it can make the relationship
between teachers and students to be better. In
addition, keeping in mind that our students felt afraid of speaking
during the classes, we considered games as the best motivation to help them to
speak in an appropriate atmosphere.[9]
The games also provided them with opportunities for free expression. According
to the idea mentioned above, stated that "games
and fun activities have always been one of everybody's favorite things to do in
a class, both for teachers and students".[10]
c) Production
(Encouraging students to produce new vocabulary).[11]
The production stage of the lesson allows for the
proper assessment of student development, where the teacher can discover just
how much the students have learned.
Production is seen as
the culmination of the language learning process, where by the learners have
started to become independent users of the language rather than students
of the language.[12] The teacher's role here is to somehow facilitate a
realistic situation or activity where the students instinctively feel the need
to actively apply the language they have been practicing. The teacher
does not correct or become involved unless students directly appeal to him/her
to do so.
Therefore, from the three of the PPP techniques
above, we give an illusion of mastery because learners are able to produce the
required form confidently in the classroom, but once they are outside the
classroom and the drill, learners seem to forget it completely. Therefore,
since learners are require to produce forms which have been specified in
advance, the last stage of a PPP lesson is nowadays referred to as a freer or
less controlled practice of the target structure.
