The giving or input of language to students is called?

• A. Presentation
• B. Production
• C. Receptive skills
• D. Real Play

Answer: (A)

Introducing new language to learners is called presentation. In lesson planning, this stage is where the teacher provides the target language as input, often modeling the structure and usage and helping students notice meaning, form, and function. The aim is to give learners a clear model before they try to use the language themselves, which is then followed by practice and production. Production, by contrast, is when learners use the language themselves; receptive skills refer to understanding language through listening and reading; Real Play is a communicative activity approach that uses authentic contexts for practice rather than the act of presenting new language.
