A practical guide to task-based teaching for ELT training courses and practising teachers. This book provides teachers with a better understanding of task-based learning and how it works, including how to incorporate tasks with textbook material. Task-based teaching has created enormous interest among teachers in recent years. But how does the idea of designing tasks (e.g. discussions, problems, games) that encourage learners to use real language work in practice? This book explains the basic principles behind task-based learning and teaching and gives practical examples of how to make it work in different teaching situations. Contents After an introductory chapter explaining the theoretical basis of a task-based approach, the remainder of the book is firmly focused on classroom practice. There are chapters on: - Task-based sequences in the classroom - Tasks based on written and spoken texts - From topic to task types: listing, sorting, and classifying - From topic to task types: matching, comparing, problem-solving, projects, and storytelling - Language focus and form focus - The task-based classroom and the real world - Adapting and refining tasks (to meet the needs of specific classes) - Designing a task-based syllabus - How to integrate task-based teaching with coursebooks, and other frequently asked questions There are reader activities throughout the book and at the end of most chapters to help you reflect on the previous section and anticipate what is going to be covered in the next section. Many of these tasks are practical, e.g. designing a task or writing instructions for a class of your own. You can use these tasks individually, or as part of your teacher training course. There are also practical examples of simple task-based lessons, projects and scenarios, and task-based course plans in appendices at the back of the book. These appendices also include transcripts of the task recordings referred to in the book, templates for lesson planning, and word frequency lists.
