Drill

A drill is a set of sentences containing a new structure for the students to repeat.


 * Choral drill: the entire class repeats the sentences in unison.
 * Individual drill: The teacher selects students to repeat a sentence individually.
 * Substitution drill: The teacher varies the drill with cue words.

Example (during a presentation of object pronouns):

Teacher: My brother.

Students: I gave the book to him.

Teacher: My mother.

Students: I gave the book to her.

Teacher: Children.

Students: I gave the book to them.
