In the Presentation stage of PPP, the teacher typically introduces and models the target language in context.

True

In Task‑Based Learning, the Language Focus stage may include both analysis of language forms and short practice activities.

True

Prabhu believed that learners could acquire language effectively while focusing on meaning‑based tasks rather than explicit grammar.

True

The Report stage requires students to present how they completed the task or what they discovered.

True

In Scrivener’s ARC model, “Restricted use” refers to activities that allow students to communicate freely without constraints.

False — that describes “Authentic use.”

In an ESA lesson, the Study phase always has to come immediately after the Engage phase.

False — ESA allows flexible sequencing (e.g., boomerang or patchwork patterns).

Individual repetition is a common technique used during the Practice phase.

True

The Practice stage of PPP is designed for students to use language freely without restrictions.

False, that's Production.

In Lewis’s OHE model, students experiment with language before they have observed any examples.

False — observation comes first.

In the ARC framework, a single lesson can move back and forth between A, R, and C stages depending on learner needs.

True

In the III model, students begin by memorising grammar rules before seeing any examples of real language.

False

In an ESA lesson, the Engage phase is optional and can be removed without affecting student motivation.

False — engagement is considered essential for effective learning.

In the ARC model, the Clarification and Focus phase involves analysing language and addressing errors.

True

The Pre‑task stage in Willis’s framework involves students reporting their task results to the class.

False — that happens in the Report stage.

The Production stage focuses mainly on accuracy rather than fluency.

False — it emphasises freer, creative use.

PPP is generally considered most effective for advanced learners who already have strong communicative skills.

False — it’s more suited to beginners/elementary levels.

PPP is often criticised for giving too much control to learners and not enough to teachers.

False — the opposite is true.

ESA and ARC were created to provide more flexible lesson structures than PPP.

True

In Byrne’s circular model, teachers and students can enter the cycle at different points depending on needs.

True

In Task‑Based Learning, the teacher typically corrects all errors immediately during the task itself.

False — during the task, the teacher usually monitors without interrupting; feedback comes later.

During the Task cycle, the teacher typically monitors from a distance rather than controlling the interaction.

True

A criticism of TBL is that task‑solving language may not expose learners to the full range of discourse types they need.

True

PPP has been criticised for oversimplifying the complexity of real language acquisition.

True

One major criticism of PPP is that it assumes learners progress in a neat, linear fashion.
