Task based Approach aims to provide learnes with a natural context for language use. As learners to compleate a task, they have abundant opportunity to interact. In this

approach

learners have

to check to see

is they have

comprehended

correctly and,

at times they

have to seek

clarification.

Types of Taks

Prabhu identified three types of task,

all of which were represented in the

lesson we have just observed.

These types are:

1. Information - Gap Activity

2. Opinion – Gap Activity

3. A Reasoning – Gap Activity

Each type can

be used or

apply

depending of

the level of the

class that the

teacher is

dealing with. I

consider is a

very helpful

clasification.

Opinion – Gap

Activity

Reasoning – Gap Activity

Information – Gap Activity

In 1993

Long and Crookes have identified three different types of task based approaches… they called Syllabi.

1. Procedural: is already illustrated.

2. Notion that Language based should be seen as a process.

3. Their own tasked based teaching, which focuses on meaning interaction while still drawing student’s attention.

This is a

helpfull way to

have the

students see

the logic

involved in

what they are

begin asked to

do.

Project Work

Is not determinated but rather

derives from the nature of a

particular project that they students

elect to do.

Three stages:

1. Inside of the classroom

2. Ouside of the classroom

3. Students Review the project.

This is more for

adults students

but the teacher

still breaks

down into

smaller steps

the logical

thinking

process

necessary to

complete the

task.

My Comments

CLT Lesson was design to get students

to practice making predictions, a

communicative function, the task based

lesson we observed did not focus on a

particular function or form of the

language. In fact, the teacher used a

wide variety of linguistic forms.
