- A technique in writing where the time is specified, a relatively short time set aside in class for students to practice writing them undisturbed. It helps build smooth writing.
- Vocabulary, importance
- The core vocabulary (the most common 2.000-3000 English words) needs to be strongly emphasized in language teaching. There is no point in presenting exotic vocabulary until students master basic high-frequency words. Learners should be tested on high frequency word lists for passive knowledge, active production and listening comprehension. Learners can not understand or speak at a high level without these words as the foundation.
Learners need to spend time practicing these words until they are automated; This is known as Automatic Build. Since there is often insufficient class time for many word exercises, teachers need to present their students with strategies to develop an out-of-class automatization.

- The syllabus is built around the vocabulary; often associated with grammar syllabus and grammar translation methods.
