1. ControlledPractice The first stage of controlled practice is repetition and this can be either choral or individual. When we get choral repetition, we get all the students to say the new word or phrase together.
2. Sometimes teachers divide the class in half and give each of the dialogue roles to one or other half. The conversation is then spoken in semi-chorus, with the two half each taken their turn to speak.
3. A form of individual practice which some learners and students find it useful occurs when teachers tell the students that they and say the word or phrase quietly to themselves murmuring it a few times.
4. FreerPractice Freer practice is a stage between language study and activation. It is still concerned with the correct construction of language. And so is as part of study. The decision about whether or not the students need explanation or controlled practice, will depend.
