Okayama JALT:
Task-based learning in a themed context
Date: Saturday, January 16th, 2010 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Speaker: Marcos Benevides
Description:
Task-based language teaching (TBLT) represents the evolution of communicative language teaching into a more structured performance-based approach. Gone is the day when anything-goes "free conversation" passed for language teaching; instead, TBLT's emphasis on achieving clear, quantifiable, authentic goals allows students to gauge their strengths and weaknesses in meaningful ways, boosting motivation and the possibility for a sustained virtuous cycle of language learning.
