This term stumps me.
I'm taking an English teachers test now, and I kinda need to know.
Awards to the first brainiac who can answer this

Assume this is it.

Quote:
1. Sound drills: Since the mouth/tongue needs to relearn correct ways to articulate different sounds, drilling works well. Either the 10 beat sound drill or 3x3 choral drilling can be used (the teacher gets the entire class to repeat the sound thrice, followed by three students/trainees who say the sound individually).

Surprisingly, a Google search revealed the answer.

You say a word 3x
Your students repeat it as a group 3x
You can then go around and pick students individually if you like.

Monkey training 101. I can't believe we are buying into this stuff so we can become more "qualified".

Alternate answer: it's what Shanghai girls do to emigrate to the West.
