Section 1
After studying this section, have you learned (1) the basic principles of CLT and TBLT? (2) the stages in CLT and TBLT classes?
(3) some ways to solve problems that occur in classrooms?
Key: (1) The basic principles include: 1) there should be clear goals for each task-based lesson; 2) the goals of TBLT instruction cover language structure and vocabulary and accuracy, complexity and fluency; 3) the goals can also be developing learning strategies or integrating prior lessons, not necessarily just the knowledge or skills taught in the unit; 4) there should be a variety of goals to ensure systematic language development.
(2) The stages in CLT and TBLT classes include pre-task stage, while-task stage and post-task stage. The pre-task stage includes task preparation and planning, during which students can use mind-maps, activate background knowledge, introduce new materials and provide sample tasks or imitation and practice.

(3) When problems occur in classrooms, the teacher should first stay calm to reevaluate the situation. Then, the teacher can analyze the situation and find out the reasons: it is because students don’t understand the instructions or they are not able to complete the task? The teacher can also choose to talk with students over the problems and the solutions. One thing to bear in mind is that classroom activities don’t have to be consistent with the teaching plan. Flexibility and adjustability are needed when necessary.

1. What is the essence of PWP process?

2. How can you connect TBL with PWP?
Key: In TBL, there are three stages: the pre-task stage, the while-task stage and the post-task stage, while in PWP, there are also three similar stages: the pre-stage, the while-stage and the post-stage.
