Understanding Language
Video transcript
Second, the tasks are contexts in the classroom where the language of the classroom is made
more like the language of the real world outside the classroom.
Third, task structure activities. There's an outcome and then the students have an awareness
of the structure of the lesson that the teacher has planned. And then finally, they are
reference points for language input. So teachers can introduce explicitly or focus on particular
language forms which benefit the students.
To say few words about the future of TBLT. TBLT with all its variations has become the
predominant approach to language teaching, in terms of what we find in course books and
other learning materials, in the content of teacher education programmes, and in quality
management schemes around the world.
While there may be still some questions of effectiveness of TBLT, the promise of greater
effectiveness is likely to come from further variations and adaptations of TBLT rather than
another teaching method or approach.
