PPP and CALLA MODELS

Which instructional model is primarily criticized for being overly teacher-centered and for its linear progression from a focus on form (accuracy) to a focus on meaning (fluency)?

• The CALLA Model

• The PPP Model

• The TBLT Model

• The SBL Model

The PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production) model is most effective for:

• Promoting independent learning strategies in advanced students.

• Teaching discrete language items like specific grammar rules or vocabulary sets to lower-level learners.

• Fostering a constructivist, student-centered learning environment.

• Integrating content-area instruction with language development.

The CALLA (Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach) model, developed by Chamot and O'Malley, emphasizes the explicit teaching of three main types of learning strategies. Which of the following is NOT one of these types?

• Metacognitive strategies

• Social/Affective strategies

• Structural strategies

• Cognitive strategies

A teacher using the CALLA model would guide students through which of the following stages in a lesson?

• Presentation, Practice, Production

• Preparation, Presentation, Practice, Evaluation, Expansion

• Engage, Study, Activate

• Task, Planning, Report

Which of the following describes a key stage in the PPP model?

• Learners are encouraged to brainstorm prior knowledge about a topic.

• Students apply a language strategy to a new, authentic task.

• The teacher provides a controlled activity for students to repeat and manipulate a new language item.

• Learners reflect on their use of a strategy and how well it worked.
