Phase 1 of the PPP Method: Presentation
This is the part of the process that is most passive for the student. The teacher presents students with new information (e.g. a grammar point, a vocabulary list, etc.). It is important that this information be presented in sufficient detail.
The first part of presentation would be introducing the meaning of the new language. This could be a written definition, or a flash card, or a spoken description of a phrase or idiom’s meaning.
Next, the teacher must use clear examples so that students can see correct usage. An example might be a sample dialogue or a sentence written on the board, but students will need to see the new language being used naturally.
Finally, the teacher needs to confirm that presentation is successful and that the students understand the new language. At its simplest, this part of the PPP method is simply asking students to confirm that a particular example is correct, though teachers can use a more elaborate activity at their discretion.

Phase 2 of the PPP Method: Practice
Also called drilling, this phase is to fully reinforce the new language. This is where teachers are likely to insert worksheets or games (maybe like the games found here, here, or here). Games are always a fun option when it comes to practice, and they are the preferred drills in Shane English School classrooms, but worksheets, scripted conversations, and reading exercises sometimes take the place of a game in other institutions.
The practice phase can be long, containing multiple activities to best reach the entire class. There’s a good chance that this takes up more time than any other phase of the PPP method. However, drilling can also be brief if the new language is simple and easy for a particular class to grasp. At this point, it is up to the teacher to determine the best course of action based on the needs of the students.
