Production
From TEFL World Wiki
Production, in TEFL terms, is simply producing language; in other words, speaking or writing.
Language learning often follows this pattern:
INPUT > COMPREHENSION > PRODUCTION
Input is when the teacher introduces a new language item, for example the teacher might introduce to a beginner class the concept of Past Simple. The teacher explains it and gives a few examples.
The students then start to understand what the Past Simple is all about. This is the Comprehension stage.
Finally the students begin to use the Past Simple. They make sentences involving it and either speak or write using examples of the Past Simple. This is the Production stage.
