Speaker: Rod Ellis (University of Auckland)
Date: Saturday, March 15th, 2008
Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: Tokyo
Venue: Temple University Japan Tokyo Campus
Description:
Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is currently advocated by a number of SLA researchers but has also been challenged by some teacher educators. This seminar will examine the theoretical bases for TBLT and in so doing will address the criticisms that have been leveled at it. Key issues in the design and implementation of task-based courses will be discussed. Participants in the seminar will be invited to plan a task-based lesson for their own students and consider how they would evaluate the effectiveness of the lesson.
