  13. High Quality Program: Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT)

  14. TBLT: Definition “TBLT refers to an approach based on the use of tasks as the core unit of planning and instruction in language teaching.” Richards & Rogers (2001)

  15. TBLT: Key Assumptions • Focus on process rather than product • Emphasize communication and meaning • Learners learn language while engaged in activities and tasks • Tasks can be either: (a) real life or (b) instructional • Tasks determined by:(a) learner variables (b) task complexity (c) language required (d) available support Feez (1998)

  16. TBLT: Teacher & Learner Roles Teacher Learner • Selection and Sequencing of Tasks • Preparation of Learners for Tasks • Consciousness-Raising (Noticing) • Active Participation in Groups • Self-Monitoring • Risk-Taking and Innovation

  17. THINKING ® MAPS

  18. Think-Pair-Share This is a strategy that guides students to perform a communicative task and understand language input by talking, sharing and negotiating meaning. A Thinking Map® helps create a visual scaffold for input and output.

  19. TBLT: Lesson Sequence Goals • Set behavior and lesson objectives. • Access prior knowledge and link to new comprehensible input. • Use task-based activity to explicitly teach language forms & functions. • Practice communicatively through structured oral and written tasks. • Self-evaluate and reflect. • Practice acquired forms and functions outside the ELD block.

  20. Input: Circle Map • Introduce Theme • Brainstorm • Think-Pair-Share • Access Prior Knowledge • (2nd Grd. Unit 4 Part A Lesson 4.1 – Pg.9)
