1- Mechanical Drills:

Once the structure has been presented , the teacher gives

the class some manipulative drills. ( why? )
To develop accuracy
2- Meaningful drill:
Students cannot perform these drills without knowing the
meaning of the new language because they focus on the
content instead of the form.
a- Communicative drills:
The pupils feel freedom of express themselves or their
ideas.
b- A repetition drill:
It is preferred to have repetition after presenting the new
pattern or structure. That gives a good chance to practice
the oral fluency. The repetition can be:
- in groups.
- in pairs.
- individually.
c- A substantiation drill:
1- Simple substantiation \ with one cue
e.g. I go to the market everyday. ( every week)
2- Multiple substantiation \ the basic sentence remains
the same but the cue could be substitutable for any item
in the model e.g. :
T. : Ali
S. : Ali wrote a good book.
T. : Story.
S. : Ali wrote a good story.
T. : love.
S. : Ali wrote a love story. etc.
d. Chain drill:
Te teacher asks a question then the students ask each
other.
e.g.
T. : Are you hungry?
S1: On, I am not.
S1: (to another student) Are you hungry?
S2: Yes, I am.

S2 : (to a third student) Are you hungry? Etc.

e- Transformation drills:
e.g. from sentence to a question, passive, negative..
T. : I like sandwiches.
S1: (to another student) Do you like sandwiches?
S.2: No, I do not like sandwiches. etc.
f- Expansion drills:
e.g.
T. : I have a pen. ( always)
S. : I always have a pen.
S. : I always have a good pen. etc.
g- Integrative drills:
Two short sentences should be combined into one.
e.g.
