  1. Grammar Practice Progression Analysis by: Rob Jenkins Staci Johnson This presentation analyzes a progressive approach to activities within a grammar lesson plan. Many words are used to identify activities that we all may consider interchangeable, but actually seem to manifest subtle differences at least in the eyes of Staci Johnson and Rob Jenkins. We hope that this presentation will clarify the meaning of mechanical, meaningful, production, accuracy, and fluency as we see them, showing the relationship they have with one another. We also hope this this will act as a guide to write and edit future manuscript.

  2. Activity Characteristics Fluency Complete Production Meaningful Meaning Fluency Production Accuracy No Production Mechanical Exercises or activities have three characteristics. Activity progression usually starts at the lower end of each chart.

  3. Activity Characteristics Fluency Complete Production Meaningful Meaning Fluency Production Accuracy No Production Mechanical NOTE: Activities are along a continuum. Except at the bottom or top of the charts, we cannot always say an activity is solely “mechanical” or “meaningful”, of “no production” or “complete production”, “accuracy” building, or “fluency” building.

  4. MEANING PROGRESSION 4. Meaningful (doesn’t have to be personal) Complete the VENN diagram based on smoking risks. Write a paragraph about your opinion regarding… Meaningful Meaning 3. Mostly Meaningful Complete the sentences based on information from the chart. 2. Mostly Mechanical (little to no meaning necessary) Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the be verb. 1. Mechanical (no meaning necessary) Underline the be verb. Mechanical Activities should progress in a lesson; however, each level is not necessary.

  5. PRODUCTION PROGRESSION Complete Production 4. Complete Production Write a paragraph /essay. Discuss the pictures with a partner. Production 3. More Production Write sentences. Answer with complete sentences. 2. Minimal Production Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the be verb. Answer with short answers only. 1. No Production (recognition exercises) Underline the be verb. Listen (no task)…. We should not have these. No Production Activities should progress in a lesson; however, each level is not necessary.

  6. FLUENCY PROGRESSION Fluency 4. Fluency (Communicative/Personal) Discuss your opinion with a partner. Fluency 3. Independent Expression Answer the questions in your own words. Write your ideas about… 2. Productive Accuracy Fill in the blanks... Write sentences with words provided. Practice the dialog with new information provided. 1. Accuracy Copy. Accuracy Activities should progress in a lesson; however, each level is not necessary. You may not need to start at #1.

  7. Activity Progression Represents the same activity in all three charts. Fluency Complete Production Meaningful Meaning Fluency Production Accuracy No Production Mechanical The same activity may be in different places along the three continuums

  8. Activity Progression YES! YES! YES! Complete Production Meaningful Fluency Meaning Fluency Production Accuracy No Production Mechanical However, the next activity cannot regress in any one continuum.

  9. OR YES! YES! YES! Complete Production Fluency Meaningful Meaning Fluency Production Accuracy No Production Mechanical However, the next activity cannot regress in any one continuum.

  10. NOT YES! NO! YES! Complete Production Fluency Meaningful Meaning Fluency Production Accuracy No Production Mechanical However, the next activity cannot regress in any one continuum.

  11. Use It! Complete Production Meaningful Fluency Meaning Fluency Production Accuracy No Production Mechanical “Use It” activities must be meaningful. They don’t have to be completely productive or fluent.

  12. Live It! Fluency Complete Production Meaningful Meaning Fluency Production Accuracy No Production Mechanical “Live It” activities must be meaningful, completely fluent, and productive.

  13. All Work Together Meaning Fluency Production All three characteristics work together. There is often overlap.
