Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The PPP model (Presentation – Practice – Production) is a structured, three-stage lesson-planning framework widely used in English language and skill teaching. It sequences a lesson from introducing new content, through controlled practice, to independent application.

In the Presentation stage, the teacher introduces the new language item, concept, or skill in a clear context so learners grasp its form and meaning. In the Practice stage, learners work through controlled or guided activities — drills, exercises, pair work — to build accuracy. In the Production stage, learners use the item freely and creatively in communicative, open-ended tasks, showing independent command of it. This sequence — Present, Practice, Produce — is exactly the triad in this item.

  • "Product – Practice – Present" reorders the sequence and swaps in "Product" (an outcome/deliverable) in place of "Presentation", which is not a recognised PPP stage name.

  • "Pre-teaching – Practice teaching – Produce result" borrows teacher-training vocabulary (pre-teaching, practice teaching) used for a trainee's supervised classroom practicum, not the PPP lesson stages.

  • "Pre – conception – Practice by teacher – Post conception" frames the sequence around "conception" before and after the teacher's practice, terminology not used for PPP lesson stages.

This matches the official CTET 2021 Paper 2 answer key and standard ELT references (e.g., British Council TeachingEnglish), confirming Present – Practice – Produce as the recognised triad for this model.
