The document discusses different teaching methodologies for teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). It describes the Presentation-Practice-Production (PPP) methodology and the Exposure-Stimulation-Absorption (ESA) methodology. PPP involves presenting new language, having students practice it, and then producing it. It allocates different percentages of class time to teacher and student talk. The document recommends using pairwork and small groups to maximize student talk time. It also advises using English as the primary classroom language but allowing limited use of students' first language to aid understanding.

“PPP” – means Presentation, Practice,

is “presented” to the students generally

Presentation features more “teacher talk”
than the other stages of the lesson –
generally as much as 65-90% of the time.
This portion of the total lesson can take as
much as 20-40% of the lesson time.

8. the students practice the target
language in one to three
activities that progress from very
structured
“student talk” as possible and not focus
on written activities – though written
activities can provide a structure for the
verbal practices.
“student talk time” range from 60-80 percent
of the time – with teacher talk time being the
balance of that time

12. It is important to use English in the classroom as the target
language and as the teaching language.
There are times, however, when the limited use of the students’
first language can be useful. Be careful though. Some native
speakers lose their value when they begin teaching in the
L1. Most EFL students have already studied English for years in
their L1, but still can’t speak fluently. The more you use a
student’s L1 the more you lose your value as a native speaker and
in most cases, a major factor in your hire was that you were a
native speaker. If you don’t use that skill and ability, they might
as well hire a local teacher for half of what you cost
