Abstract

There is currently enormous interest in task-based teaching and learning. But some teachers are still unsure of how to put it into practice. This book gives examples of a range of task sequences suitable for all levels of learners, using both written and spoken English. The advice is based firmly in the classroom and includes contributions from teachers from around the world who are enthusiastic about task-based teaching. It takes account of research into language learning, and is ideal for both practising teachers and those on TEFL/TESOL courses. Name of Series: Oxford Handbooks for Language Teachers
