7- Discussion Questions
Discussion questions are not only for skills-based lessons; they can be incorporated into PPP lessons that focus on specific vocabulary or grammar concepts as well. However, discussion questions are not appropriate for the lower level ESL classes, as students are not yet comfortable expressing their free thoughts. The language they have learned in English, at this point, is still very limited in vocabulary and grammatical structures. 
To use discussion questions as your production, create a number of questions that incorporate the language concept from your lesson. Students should read the questions and think about their answers, or even jot down some ideas, before discussing with a partner and then coming together as a whole class to discuss. The teacher should facilitate the discussion and write down errors, but should not be a major contributor to the conversation. For instance, if I created a lesson on Phrasal Verbs focused on a dating and relationship topic, I could use questions like the following in my production.
How many times have you been asked out by someone at a bar?
Do you know people that constantly break up and get back together with their partners?
Do you think it is ok to make out with someone on a first date?
What is the perfect age to settle down?
8- Surveys
Another language classroom class, surveys are great for getting students talking about their personal opinions and can incorporate a specific vocabulary or grammar concept. Like discussion questions, surveys are more appropriate for the higher level ESL classes, as the students need to be comfortable verbalizing their original thoughts. 
After students have read the statements and circled a number, they should discuss their answers with a partner. Then the class should come back together to discuss. Again, the teacher facilities the conversation and writes down errors. If my lesson was focused on crime vocabulary, I can create statements like the following and asking students to circle, on a scale of 1 to 5, their personal opinion. 
 Someone who gets caught pickpocketing should go to jail. 1 2 3 4 5
Mugging is a serious problem in my country. 1 2 3 4 5
Blackmailing is a serious and harmful crime. 1 2 3 4 5
