PDP (Pre-During-Post)

Hello everyone, welcome to a new entry! 💟

During this week, we were introduced to the PDP method, specifically designed for developing receptive skills.

It is essential because it allows teachers to effectively design and create effective listening and reading comprehension lessons that improve students' comprehension and achieve the goal of allowing them to understand the text. In addition, it prepares students for various activities that improve their comprehension skills, encourages active participation in reading or comprehension lessons, and promotes the improvement of receptive skills.✍🦻

PRE - It represents the pre-lesson phase that follows the learners' engagement with the text through reading or listening. During this phase, activities include actions such as activating prior knowledge, evaluation of learners' prior knowledge, and introduction of essential vocabulary necessary for understanding the text.

DURING - This phase of the lesson takes place when students are actively engaged with the text through reading or listening. During this phase, learners are introduced to a variety of activities designed to provide them with repetitive interactions with the text. These activities are presented to the learners before they read or listen to the text and should involve a variety of teaching techniques.

POST - This phase takes place once students have completed the reading or listening task and have demonstrated comprehension. The POST phase, it is not essential in a receptive skills class, serves as an additional component. The student's primary learning objective is achieved at the end of the DURING phase. Activities in the POST phase focus on developing and incorporating supplementary skills by using and extending the content, or topic of the text. These activities also help learners strengthen their new knowledge.

Teacher Orlando provided us with a comprehensive lesson with all these steps, primarily focusing on the topic of scents. He sat down to write the lesson plan and asked us for ideas, making it an interactive experience. However, in my opinion, this class was also one of the most theoretical sessions we've had on this register.

So, that would be all for now, see you next time, bye-bye.👽💙
