• Information-gap activities

• Memorizing vocabulary lists

Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) focuses on:

• Rote learning of grammar rules

• The use of meaningful, real-world tasks

• Translation of texts

• Dictation exercises

When designing a TBLT lesson, what is crucial?

• Selecting unrelated tasks

• Focusing solely on pronunciation

• Ensuring tasks are meaningful and related to real-world contexts

• Prioritizing written activities

Role-plays in CLT are used to:

• Enhance memorization of dialogues

• Develop communicative competence through simulated interactions

• Teach vocabulary in isolation

• Focus on grammar drilling

A primary goal of CLT is to enable learners to:

• Write essays in the target language

• Translate complex texts accurately

• Communicate effectively in real-life situations

• Memorize language rules

In TBLT, tasks should be:

• Impractical and theoretical

• Meaningful and contextually relevant

• Solely written

• Focused on translation

What is a common feature of both CLT and TBLT?

• Focus on grammar accuracy

• Emphasis on communicative competence

• Use of textbooks as the main resource

• Translation exercises

Which activity type is commonly used in CLT?

• Multiple-choice quizzes

• Role-plays and simulations

• Dictation

• Vocabulary drills

In TBLT, what is the focus of the post-task phase?

• Completing more tasks

• Ignoring feedback

• Reflecting on language use and performance

• Memorizing vocabulary
