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.
The stages of the framework are:
Pre Ss prepare to listen:
they talk about their knowledge or and experience with the topic of the listening or reading
they understand the meaning of key vocabulary in the text
they understand what they will listen or read for in the text before they begin working with it
they can make predictions about what the text will be about.
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). They can also do tasks that help them
develop specific listening and reading skills.
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.
This is important because is the way that you should to develop each class as a teacher, that is the way that the students can develop
easily their language skills.
