TBLL

It is not a phase in the TBLL framework:

• clarifying the target task

• pre-task

• post-task

• observation

Tasks should be:

• fun and easy, so that the learners don't get bored

• meaningful and relevant to the learners' interests and socio-cultural background

• challenging beyond the learners' abilities

• repetitive, so that learners practice

What is the main difference between a task and an exercise?

• Learners can't negotiate a task but they can an exercise

• Tasks focus on meaning, exercises on form

• Tasks limit learners' language autonomy, exercises allow it

• Tasks focus on form, exercises on meaning

It isn't a task feature:

• Tasks are complex

• Tasks involve learner-learner interaction

• Tasks balance demand and support

• Tasks have an integrated focus on fun

Tasks focus on the use of authentic discourse, meaning on language that is used for real-life purposes.

• True

• False

It is a form of support:

• Providing a model of the target task

• Breaking down task steps

• Providing language in context

• All of them

Clarifying the target task means:

• negotiating the task with the learners

• deciding the task for the learners

• explaining the target task to the learners

• assigning the task to the learners

In the pre-task phase:

• Learners reflect on their learning process

• Learners present their tasks

• Learners' resources are activated

• Learners give feedback

In the target-task phase:

• Learners reflect on the language forms

• The teacher designs the materials and activities

• The learners work on the tasks steps that lead them toward the target task

• New language is presented

In the post-task phase:

• Learners decide the language goals

• Learners present their tasks

• Learners negotiate their tasks

• Learners reflect on their learning process and on the language form, if necessary
