In professional education, learning by teaching (German: Lernen durch Lehren; LdL) designates currently the method created by Jean-Pol Martin that allows pupils and students to prepare themselves to teach lessons, or parts of lessons. Learning by teaching should not be confused with presentations or lectures by students, as students not only convey a certain content, but also have the flexibility to convey the content as they choose or develop their own methods and didactic approaches in teaching classmates the material. Neither should it be confused with tutoring, because the teacher has intensive control of, and gives support for, the learning process in learning by teaching as against other methods.
