ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the description of Process-Based Instruction (PBI) and how it can be applied to the classroom. It how to prepare for initial PBI-focused lessons, including personal practice in plan-making. New teaching and learning programmes and packages – often called educational technologies – are constantly being introduced to teachers and school personnel. The roots of PBI were established in 1980. At that time, there was a decline in teachers' confidence in the wide variety of innovative teaching and testing resources, such as the Frostig-Horne Program in Visual Perception, the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA), SRA kits, and behavioural approaches to classroom teaching. PBI focuses upon the teacher's use of plans to help students learn new material effectively. Teachers instruct students to use plans, to amend them to suit their needs or learning style, and to develop their own personal plans.
