Task-based learning
Activities where English is the tool, not the topic
In each activity, learners work together to get something done: plan a day out, solve a problem, choose between options. The language work comes after the task, from what learners needed and what they said.
How the activities are built
Each activity follows the task cycle, so you can run it in one lesson or spread it over two.
Pre-task
Introduce the topic and the task, and activate useful words.
Task
Learners work in pairs or groups to complete it.
Planning
Groups prepare to tell the class what they did or decided.
Report
Groups present, and the class compares results.
Language focus
Analysis and practice of language that came up in the task.
Activities
The first activities are on their way. Each one will have a task sheet for learners and notes for teachers.
