Enhancing Active Grammar Learning in a Synchronous Online EFL Undergraduate Classroom: Development and Assessment of the LPCR Online Instructional Model

In synchronous online EFL classrooms, students often exhibit passive participation and boredom when learning grammar. This research study presents the development of an online active grammar learning instructional model, named LPCR, which incorporates Byrne’s Presentation-Practice- Production (PPP) approach and Fink’s holistic view of active learning. LPCR was employed as an eclectic approach for teaching grammar and utilized four online applications in a synchronous online classroom. The study involved 40 second-year nursing students enrolled in an EFL undergraduate course at a public university in Thailand from January to April 2022. The effectiveness of LPCR was assessed through a grammar test, a questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews. The students’ grammar scores were analyzed using the Paired Samples t-Test and Cohen’s d, which revealed the positive effect of LPCR with a medium effect size. Also, students’ attitudes toward LPCR were assessed through a seven-point Likert-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, employing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical framework. The results indicated that, on average, students considered LPCR useful and easy to use, and they had positive attitudes toward using LPCR and behavioral intention to use it. Additionally, the results of a path analysis with the students’ questionnaire responses showed both significant and non-significant direct and indirect effects of the four TAM variables: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioral intention to use. Pedagogical and research implications are drawn from the findings, and recommendations for implementing LPCR in future instances of English grammar instruction in synchronous online classrooms are offered.

Exploring the Balance between Fluency and Accuracy in Language Teaching Methodologies: A Comparative Analysis of PPP, TBL, CLT, and GTM

This paper delves into the balance between fluency and accuracy in language teaching methodologies, analyzing the approaches of Presentation Practice Production (PPP), Task-Based Learning (TBL), Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), and Grammar-Translation Method (GTM). While some methodologies prioritize fluency, others prioritize accuracy, leading to diverse learning outcomes. The paper advocates for a comprehensive approach that addresses both aspects effectively to enhance language teaching practices. Achieving a balance between fluency and accuracy is crucial for effective language learning, as overemphasis on one may hinder the development of the other. By adopting a holistic approach, language learners can develop both fluency and accuracy, thereby enhancing their overall proficiency. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on language pedagogy and emphasizes the importance of balanced language instruction in achieving proficiency.

Enhancing Students' Speaking Skills in Describing People through the Presentation-Practice-Production (PPP) Method at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi

This study addresses the students' need for enhanced speaking skills, particularly in terms of fluency. The inquiry posed in this thesis originates from the question: Can the application of the Presentation, Practice, and Production (PPP) method contribute to the improvement of students' speaking abilities when describing a person at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi? The objective is to ascertain whether the use of the PPP method has a positive impact on students' proficiency in describing individuals. The research adopts a quantitative approach through quasi-experimental methods. The study encompasses the eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 5 Sigi, comprising three classes. The experimental class comprises 20 students, while the control class consists of 20 students. Purposive sampling is employed to select students from classes VIII A and VIII B. The research findings demonstrate that the utilization of the Presentation Practice Production (PPP) method significantly enhances students' speaking skills, specifically in terms of fluency. This is evident from the mean scores of the experimental and control classes, which are 17.65 and 8.9, respectively. The calculated t-value of 4.26, with a degree of freedom (df) of 38 (20+20-2) and a significance level of 0.05, surpasses the critical t-table value of 2.00. Consequently, the hypothesis of the research is accepted, affirming that the implementation of the Presentation Practice Production method is effective in improving the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi.

Teaching oral skills in Higher Education (HE) language learning

The aim of this study was to test two UDL-informed models to inclusive, accessible language teaching in a Business English course at a B1+ level. We adopted a task-based learning (TBL) approach in the experimental group and a presentation, practice, production (PPP) approach in the control group. Our hypothesis was that the former approach would lead to a more significant performance gain in oral skills than the latter. The hypothesis was tested by conducting oral pre- and post-tests prior to and following instruction, the scores of which were analysed quantitatively. These results were triangulated by a qualitative analysis of the answers learners gave to open questions on exit tickets throughout the course. The quantitative findings showed significant performance gain in both groups after the treatment, but the difference between the two was not marked. However, the qualitative analysis revealed variation in the participants’ perceptions of their learning process, which may have been influenced by the approach applied. A future teaching model may, therefore, include both PPP and TBL elements, complemented by formative assessment strategies.

PRESENTATION PRACTICE PRODUCTION VS TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING: A COMPARISON OF TWO TEACHING TEMPLATES

A number of statements are addressed to defend and criticize two popular teaching templates: Presentation Practice Production (PPP) and Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT). Advocates of each teaching template claim that their method is more effectively to be implemented in English language teaching than the other. This article compares these teaching templates to find out their strengths and weaknesses. This paper is a library study. It employs theoretical analysis to examine experts, prominent figures, and previous important theories and findings on discussing the same topic. The idea of PPP is a deductive and teacher-centered approach with focuses mainly on accuracy by means of drilling practice. Meanwhile, TBLT encourages students to be communicative in the classroom through language input and pushes the teacher to be a facilitator. The result of the comparison indicates that using PPP is effective in preparing students to take exams or tests, while TBLT is useful to accommodate students’ real-life communicative purposes. As these teaching templates are effective in certain contexts, teachers should consider the learning goals before deciding to implement either PPP or TBLT.

How to Teach Grammar to Adult ESP Learners at Technical University More Communicatively: Task-Based Approach

<p class="Abstract">The article is devoted to comparison of the effectiveness of grammar acquisition by adult learners in two types of instruction – based on the traditional PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production) approach and TBL (Task-Based Learning) approach – in ESP university classes. We conducted a qualitative research in which we tried to incorporate grammar instruction in communicative language teaching and for that purpose selected two groups of students (the PPP group and the TBL group). They were taught five topics, each with a focus on particular grammar items. The comparison of the results we obtained showed that students’ achievement in the TBL group increased more substantially than in the PPP group. Also, the majority of students in the TBL group liked learning grammar at the point of need, which we consider particularly important, since it stimulated their motivation and contributed to the acquisition of grammatical structures. When considering the positive aspects of our experience of using TBL and task-based grammar learning in particular, we should first of all point out its learner-centeredness which provides a number of advantages in teaching adult students: the focus on real communication, addressing the students’ needs by putting them into authentic communicative situations, encouragement of students’ responsibility for their own learning, exposure of students to a wide variety of language, including grammar, ability to motivate students.</p>

Peculiarities of teaching grammar to the non-philological students

The article deals with teaching grammar stages as important part of teaching English to the students of non-philological universities for their gaining communicative competence at the level which allows them to use foreign language practically both in professional activity and for self-education. It has been determined that main aim when teaching non-philological students is to form their grammatical skills as one of important components of skills in speaking, reading, listening and writing. It has been specially noted that the specificity of teaching grammar to the cadets of non-philological faculties lies in the fact that under the plan of study practical grammar is not taught as a separate discipline and that is why grammar material is studied in the context of definite vocabulary. Main principles and approaches regarding teaching grammar stages have been analysed. It has been reviewed that deductive approach to teaching grammar is more appropriate for non-philological students and fits into a class structure known as PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production). Much attention has been given to the analysis of Presentation, Practice and Production stages as well as techniques which can be used at the class. Special attention has been given to the types of exercises at each stage of teaching grammar such as drills, grammar games, grammar quiz, memory tests, picture dictation, growing stories, questionnaires, dialogues and grammar auctions Production (free practice) stage has been considered to be one of great great importance. Information gaps, role plays, interviews, simulations, find someone who, spot the differences between two pictures, picture cues, problem solving, personalisation activities and board games have been offered to use at production stage. It has been researched that grammar competence formation of students of non-philological universities is quite a long term process which should be provided gradually by taking into account communicative approach to foreign language teaching.

An Analysis on Spoken English at University Level Based on Production-Oriented Approach

With an eye to bringing the relatively mediocre state of Chinese university students in spoken English up to a higher level, POA (Production-Oriented Approach) is closely scrutinized to measure its effect on university students in spoken English. Steps of the study include: First, two groups of students are selected, each of which is taught with either POA or PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production) in oral English lessons. Second, the level of these two groups of students is tested before and after the teaching program starts and finishes; the results of their spoken English are made into statistics and analyzed using SPSS17.0. The results are that POA and PPP performed almost equally well in improving students’ accuracy of spoken English. However, POA delivered an amazing job in improving the fluency and more advanced vocabularies were used instead of simple words that primary school pupil would use. It is thus safe to conclude that POA method is conducive in boosting students’ spoken English and it is of great importance to university spoken English teaching.
