Teaching Vocabulary Using TTT

Language Systems are Lexis, Grammar, Pronunciation and Function.

We can teach the language systems using the TTT, PPP SItuation, PPP text-based and the TBL lesson shapes.

TTT as a teaching paradigm stands for Test-Tell-Test.

In the TTT, Test 1 aims to identify what the learners need to know to do the task better.

In the TTT, the teacher can only give the same task he/she gave students in Test 1.

TTT paradigm can be particularly useful at intermediate levels and above, where learners may have seen the language before.

In the TTT, the teacher presents the target language first, then assigns some activities for students to do.

Miming, using realia, showing pictures, giving examples are all effective ways to present vocabulary.

ECDW (Elicit, Check, Drill, Write) is a technique that teachers can use to teach and clarify vocabulary.

We can use the TTT paradigm in teaching language skills.
