PROS  -  TBLT

• More motivating
• Meaningful
• Students can choose their own oral structures (only in unfocused Task ??)
• Develops social competences that are important in daily life
• Scaffolding helps weak learners

You activate previous knowledge, experiences and thoughts of the students.

Students use schematas like e.g. "In a restaurant ..."

It's often used in the introduction or pre-"doing" phase to motivate and set the students in the mood for the topic.

Bottom-up:

You start by introducing words and/or new structures

Scoffolding is mostly used for

• Listening (receptive) competencies
• Speaking (productive) competencies

The teacher or other students give a piece of help, if someone makes a mistake.  →  it helps weak learners

→  not giving the whole correct solution, just words / bits

The teacher (or other learners) support learners to enable them to do what they cannot yet do unsupported. When they achieve independence, the scaffolding is removed, and a higher goal is set.

TBLT  =  Task Based Language Teaching

→ Communicative tasks for L2 teaching / learning

→  more motivating,  Students use the (target) language to communicate,  they develop social competences that are important in daily life

• has a communicative outcome
  → Students use the language
• involves any of the 4 skills
• has a primary focus on meaning

Interlanguage is the type of language (or linguistic system) used by the learners who are in the process of learning a target language.

Reading aloud (out loud) in class is more a waste of time

• it stresses the students
• it's deffinitive not motivating and sends most students to sleep
• in that stage of language learning it's difficult to focus on the meaning of the text, when you have to focus on form because of reading out loud
• it's not good to train pronunciation because it's normally not the every day language that students use

1. reading + listening are the first steps
2. listen and repeat  could be the second step
3. practising in pairs  could be the third step
4. reading aloud is the final step
