Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) 

Picture
Picture
Task-based language Teaching (TBLT) is a communicative teaching method that focuses on purposeful and meaningful language use. It is a naturalistic way of learning language that can be nurturing and holistic rather than teaching language as a step-by-step rote language lesson (Willis & Willis, 2007, p. 13).  Figure 6 indicates how my project lessons satisfies the characteristics outlined by Ellis (2003). According to Ellis (2003) TBLT is characterized by the following:
  1. The primary focus should be on meaning.
  2. There should be a learning ‘gap’ (information, reasoning or opinion gap).
  3. Learners should rely on their own learning resources to complete the activity.
  4. There is a clearly defined outcome other than the language.

Focus on Form

​Focus on Form (FonF) is when a learner may need clarification on language or meaning. The task may be paused as a learner asks for more information on the language.

Using learners knowledge of language to fill language gaps of what they need to understand.
 This is a great way to test language through feedback and asking questions.

Affective Filter

Picture
The affective filter prevents learners from moving forward with their language learning or blocks the input (new language learned, hearing) and then, prevents learners from producing output (speaking) language.
