How to practise the new structure

 When we give  a grammar explanation, we teach our students the form of the language, we should also teach them the meaning of the new structure and when to use it. More, we should give create a meaningful practising process for them. To practise a new structure there are some kind of drills like repetition, substitution etc.. but I will give an example of a meaningful drill.

  EXAMPLE:
                           Spanish Omelette; Give  instructions for a recipe and ask for instructions for another recipe.

Ingredients; 4 eggs, 4 potatoes ( diced), 1 onion, 3 spoonfuls of oil, salt and pepper.

1) heat the oil in a large frying pan, add onion and fry it gently until soft.

2) put the potatoes into the pan, season with salt and pepper and cook thoroughly.

3) beat the eggs and pour them into the pan.

4) place it under a grill to brown and then turn out onto a flat dish.
                           
You can also use a video of the recipe while directing.
