Developing Receptive Skills Lessons with Pre-During-Post Model
by Michael Griffin
Imagine you find (or are given) a listening or reading text that you simply must use in your next ESL class. How would you start planning to best exploit the text in your class? The PDP (Pre-During-Post) framework can help guide the planning process for receptive skills lessons. Because it’s intuitive, flexible, and extremely practical, having an understanding of PDP can help make lesson planning easier and more effective. In this interactive session we will consider the aims for each stage of a PDP lesson and how to meet these aims. Potential activities for each stage will be introduced and evaluated. In addition, potential challenges in such lessons as well as possible solutions will be discussed. Participants can expect to walk away with a clear idea of how to use PDP for planning receptive skills lessons as well as useful activities for working with listening and reading texts.
