Study Notes
Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT)
- Organizes language learning around tasks rather than traditional grammar.
- Tasks involve real-life situations requiring authentic language use, such as making reservations or writing emails.
- Focuses primarily on meaningful communication, with accuracy being secondary.
- Encourages active learner engagement through collaboration and interaction in pairs or groups.
TBLT Techniques
- Pre-Task: Introduces the task with necessary vocabulary and context; modeling may occur.
- Task Cycle: Involves performing the task, planning for presentation, and reporting findings.
- Language Focus: Post-task activities to analyze and practice language forms.
- Feedback: Includes teacher and peer evaluations on task performance and language use.
TBLT Benefits & Challenges
- Benefits:
- Promotes authentic language use for meaningful communication.
- Increases learner motivation through relevant tasks.
- Integrates multiple language skills simultaneously.
- Challenges:
- Designing tasks that are appropriately challenging.
- Assessing language proficiency through task performance.
Content-Based Language Teaching (CBLT)
- Integrates language instruction with content from subjects like science or history.
- Focuses on language learning through subject matter relevancy rather than in isolation.
- Uses authentic texts and materials to create a meaningful learning context.
- Promotes comprehension and communication over rote memorization.
CBLT Techniques
- Thematic Units: Organizes curriculum around themes that merge language and content objectives.
- Content-Rich Lessons: Engages students through reading, writing, listening, and speaking focused on the subject matter.
- Scaffolding: Provides support using visual aids, graphic organizers, and pre-teaching vocabulary to facilitate understanding.
- Interactive Activities: Encourages peer interaction through debates, projects, and presentations to foster cooperative learning.
CBLT Benefits & Challenges
- Benefits:
- Delivers relevant and engaging content that aligns with students' interests.
- Develops academic skills alongside language proficiency.
- Prepares students for academic and professional scenarios where language is applied.
- Challenges:
- Requires teachers to have depth of content knowledge.
- Involves the difficulty of selecting or creating suitable materials that cohesively blend language and content.
