4. The pdp Framework
The PDP Framework
This lesson framework helps teachers plan and deliver effective listening, video and reading
lessons. The framework is based on research and using it helps ensure students are motivated,
engaged and active before, while and after (pre, during and post – PDP) listening to, watching or
reading a text.
PRE
Ø they talk about their knowledge or and
experience with the topic of the listening or reading
Ø they understand the meaning of key vocabulary in
the text
DURING
Ss focus their attention on the listening or
reading text and complete tasks which develop
and deepen their understanding of the text
progressively (i.e., from simpler and more
general to more complex and more specific).
POST
Ss extend and integrate the understanding
and knowledge they gained from working
with the listening or reading text into other
skills areas or contexts.
