Rod Ellis - Using tasks in language teaching

Tasks play a key role in both online and face-to-face teaching. In the first part of my talk, I will define what a task is and illustrate how tasks differ from exercises. In the second part, I provide a classification of tasks with examples to illustrate different task characteristics, and also suggest which types of tasks are best suited to different groups of learners. The third part will then consider how tasks can be incorporated into language lessons in terms of task-supported and task-based language teaching, the rationale for these two ways of using tasks, and the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. The final part of the talk will then consider how teachers can tell if a task has worked. This involves defining what is meant by ‘worked’ and then evaluating whether a task has achieved what it was designed to achieve. The talk will conclude with an example of how a teacher can set about evaluating a task.

    I'm absorbed in Rod's change from the early days to this idea in regard to the third criterion: “In task-based language teaching, you don’t teach learners the language that they will need in order to do the task. Rather, you leave it up to the learners, the students, to use whatever language they have"

    Skehan 1998 apparently, came up with that definition of task; the "gap" one is different though. Originally it is "they work towards a goal". I see the connection between them from Sauvignon's definition of communication, often used by VanPatten "communication is the ex......for a given purpose". The 'purpose' part of it is what connects them. (note to self but if it helps someone else good hehe)

    A good pre-task for a task based lesson about ' What will life be like in 100 years' would be for the teacher to model their answer which would include phrases, vocab etc to support communication. The pre-task is for the learner to listen to the teacher and maybe ask questions for clarity so they are excited and engaged to write /speak about their own interpretation of the task.

    I'm not entirely sure if I agree with leaving students complete the tasks with their own linguistic devices if their proficiency level is very low. Plus, how will they ever understand the instruction in an information gap task in English if they do not have any linguistic competence
