context (n) contextualised (adj)
Context is a word for the situation in which language occurs naturally. Students will learn and remember better if the
language is presented in an appropriate context. For example, the phrase, ‘This is a pen.’ is often used as a model for
stating what things are. However, when do native speakers declare such things? Rarely, in fact. So, although the example
sentence shows the form of the language, because it has no context, it doesn’t help the students to learn when they could
actually use that structure.
Natural language always occurs in some context, so, when planning, teachers need to think of contextualised examples of
the language point.
controlled practice
A type of exercise that gives the students repeated opportunities to use, recognise and/or manipulate a particular language
point. Repetition is often a part of these activities. The aim is to develop accurate use of the form and fix it in the students’
minds.
