Task-based Teaching Tania Iveson BA CELTA

Is this a task? Does the activity engage learners’ interest? Is the primary focus on meaning that is learner generated (not simply regurgitating someone else’s) ? Is there an outcome / communicative goal? Does it relate to real-world activities? Is the primary goal to produce specific language?

Willis (1996) “A task is a goal-oriented communicative activity with a specific outcome, where the emphasis is on exchanging meanings, not on producing specific language forms.”

Which ones are tasks? What was their legacy? (Just Right Advanced, MCELT) Culture shock (Tapestry 2, Heinle & Heinle) Last Saturday (Interchange Intro, CUP)

How do we adapt and refine activities to make them into tasks? add a communicative goal / purpose get creative to better ensure engagement at starting point personalize consider learner interests add a report stage to the feedback

Which of the following instructions do NOT indicate a communicative goal? Order / SortDiscussList Create a … Compare and decide Match Solve the problem Choose Talk with your partner about …

How do we ensure the success of a task-based lesson? In other words, the activity is one thing…how it’s used is another.

Consider How the lesson begins How the teacher ‘supports’ the task How and when the teacher corrects target language How the teacher does feedback How the interaction is organized

Who’s to blame?

Perceived problems What about grammar! Student motivation Fear of losing control Lack of time Not suitable for low levels

Benefits of TBT Challenge, not spoon feeding Focus on real world use of language Clarifies context Practices choosing appropriate language Positive group dynamics Existing knowledge recognized Establishing the need to know

Key teacher affective qualities that impact on success Expectations Willingness to share Empathy Flexibility Tolerance Enthusiasm
