The process of learning, teaching

Useful things for leaning are ①instruction, ②input by Krashen (reading and listening), and ③output by Swain (writing and speaking). They should be done in this order. All of them are needed for strategy training, language acquisition, and fluency development.
PPP shows good order for teaching, and it means ①presentation by teacher, ②practice input/output, such as structured drills and games which have one answer, and ③productive output, such as free communicative activities which have many answers including games and discussion. It's also good to introduce main points of the day naturally through discussion at the beginning.
