Individual drilling
After the new language has been chorally drilled to build students’ confidence, it should then be individually drilled to
enable you to check that each student can pronounce the new language clearly and accurately.
The teacher should ask as many students as possible to repeat the target language. You will need to pay attention to the
pronunciation of sounds and word stress of individual words and to the sounds, stress and intonation of longer phrases or
sentences. It is generally a good idea NOT to go round the class in order, so that students are all encouraged to remain
alert and attentive. It is also important not to spend too much time on one student otherwise the rest of the class will get
bored and stop paying attention.
Example classroom exchange for an individual drill:
Correction
If a student makes a mistake during the individual drilling stage, it is important that this is highlighted and corrected.
Ideally the student will be able to correct their own mistake.
Example classroom exchange for self-correction by the student:
If a student cannot cor rect their own mistake after encouragement and guidance from the teacher, then other students
should be given the opportunity to help the original student and correct the mistake.
Substitution drill
A substitution drill is used to practise a structure which has different elements. In each part of the drill the teacher asks the
class or student to change one of the parts of the sentence. It’s particularly useful for verb forms.
Teacher
She's playing tennis. (PAUSE). Milan. Milan
She's playing tennis.
Lech
Lech
She's playing tennis.
etc.
Teacher
She's playing tennis.
Student
She playing tennis.
No, she …
She's playing tennis.
Yes, good.
Example classroom exchange for substitution drill:
Drilling is a very useful technique which students enjoy. It is important though that, as with all controlled practice activities,
it does not go on for too long. The teacher also needs to use clear gestures when drilling, to make sure that the class or
individual students speak when the teacher wants them to.
