in, we use vocabulary or structures that the student is already familiar with. (Lead In) We
present the new language in a statement. For beginner and elementary lessons, we will
encourage the student to try out the new language immediately, by repeating it. (Statements for
Repetition) We confirm that the student understands and can use the new language by
prompting him to use it again in a new example. (Confirmation)
