Scrivener's Model and Task Based Learning

Speaker: Jason Moser

Date: Saturday, October 11th, 2003

Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Location: Osaka

Venue: Covent Garden Social Club, Kitahorie 2-5-10 (t:06-4391-3113; 5 minute walk west of Yotsubashi station south exit, or 5-min east of Nishinagahori station south exit, on the north side of Suomachi-dori)

Description: Communicative language classes need to strive for the "Golden Mean": a balance between language fluency, accuracy, and restructuring. Moser will discuss how to evaluate lessons based on Scrivener's model of Authentic Language, Restricted Language, and Clarification (ARC). He'll introduce Task-Based Learning (TBL) and describe how he has used and adapted it to suit his classes. He'll show that TBL helps create a balance between the three types of language in Scrivener's model and helps provide an ideal environment for facilitating language acquisition. Jason Moser has an MA in TESOL and teaches at Osaka University and Osaka Gaidai. He has recently contributed a paper on Task Based Learning to be included in a book that will be out in the spring of 2004, edited by Jane Willis.
