This not an actual lesson plan – just a guide to what the teacher does in a typical PPP lesson.

less time than you expected.

Freer Practice 15 Here the teacher gives students one or more activities
(Production) focusing on fluency.
These activities involve using the target language to
communicate (e.g., a role play, a discussion, a
communicative game).
It is usually a speaking activity, but sometimes involves
writing.
The teacher does not correct at this stage, but monitors and
notes errors.
Plenary/Close 5 Teacher draws together what has been covered in the lesson.
This may include a correction spot looking at errors picked
up in the previous stage.
The teacher may set homework or a preparation task for the
next lesson.
