This is like learning to swim by jumping into the deep end of the swimming pool!

2.If they have problems a formal presentation
3.If students have no problems a semi-controlled or free practice activity or this activity follows stage 2
The Guided Discovery Model of Presentation
1.Students see examples of grammatical or functional point in text or sentence
2. Students analyse and work out the rules of form and use in pairs or groups
3. Teacher conducts whole class feedback on group discussion and corrects or explains where necessary
3. Students do controlled or freer oral and written practice
The advantage of T-T-T is that it is faster with known vocabulary as the teacher doesn't have to go through the whole business of eliciting. However you can't do T-T-T with lower levels as they don't know anything.
The guided discovery or deductive model of presentation is the method used in British schools or certainly is the one that used to be. By giving lots of examples the student discovers the rule and how to use it. Through a reading or a listening presentation the text is used to draw out the grammar.
N.B. Test Teach Test is usually written T-T-T so not as to be confused with Teacher Talking Time T.T.T.
