Task-Based Language Teaching  (TBLT)  

What are the disadvantages of the task-based approach?

CONS  -  TBLT

  • Students lack vocab and grammar
  • Do not use L2 during pair or group work
  • Not easy to find authentic, meaningful and not too difficult material
  • Students (and parents) often think that they have not learned anything during such a TBL lesson

Task-Based Language Teaching  (TBLT)  

What are the advantages of the task-based approach?

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

Top-down-process:  

Explain the term and say in which context they are of relevance!

 

Bottom-up ??

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

Scaffolding

Explain the term and say in which context they are of relevance!

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

Explain the term and say in which context they are of relevance!

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

Task-Based Language Teaching  (TBLT)  

What is meant by interlanguage?

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

Teaching Reading / Listening

Should students read out loud? Give reasons.

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

Training pronunciation, intonation and sentence stress:

  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
