Types of lessons

In the PPP framework, which stage primarily aims to reduce cognitive load by limiting linguistic choices?

• Presentation

• Practice

• Production

• Feedback

Which principle best explains why the PPP model has been criticized in modern communicative language teaching?

• It discourages vocabulary learning

• It assumes language learning occurs in a predictable linear sequence

• It focuses too heavily on pronunciation

• It prevents collaborative learning

A teacher begins a lesson by explaining the past perfect tense using timelines and examples. Which stage of PPP is this?

• Practice

• Production

• Presentation

• Evaluation

Which classroom activity would contradict the principles of the Production stage in PPP?

• Debate on a controversial topic

• Storytelling using target grammar

• Role-play in pairs

• Gap-fill exercise with only one correct answer

Which theoretical assumption underlies the PPP approach?

• Language is best learned through translation

• Language acquisition follows presentation, controlled practice, and freer use

• Grammar should never be explicitly taught

• Students should discover rules without guidance

In Task-Based Language Teaching, what is the defining feature of a “task”?

• It focuses on grammar explanation

• It requires learners to use language to achieve a meaningful outcome

• It focuses on memorization

• It avoids communication

Which activity would most accurately qualify as a task in TBLT?

• Conjugating verbs in a table

• Filling gaps with modal verbs

• Negotiating a solution to a real-life problem

• Copying sentences from the board

What is the pedagogical aim of the pre-task stage in TBLT?

• To test grammar knowledge

• To prepare learners cognitively and linguistically for the task

• To correct pronunciation errors

• To conduct final evaluation

Which stage of TBLT encourages reflection on linguistic forms after task completion?

• Pre-task

• Task cycle

• Language focus

• Feedback stage

One problem of TBLT is that students sometimes:

• stop speaking

• focus on finishing the task more than using correct language

• refuse to work in groups

• only write sentences
