Hearing a voice whispering

You are my one and only

Hearsay is but wind

You understand?

Happy and warm

You are the star of my life

O(∩_∩)OConnie from G3!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoy this song!

Full and enough

I took warmth and sincerity

1.In Task-Based Learning(TBL), the primary focus of classroom activity is on the task while language is only the instrument which students use to complete it.

2.Features of TBL: Authentic language material；Inductive reasoning; Non-linguistic outcome; Realistic situation; Motivated students.

3.Designing tasks: Designing tasks to promote language use; Components of TBL framework; How to promote learning.

Comments and suggestions:

1. There are some grammar mistakes on your ppt, so you can prepare well before the presentation.

2. The 1st presenter just read the ppt, maybe next time you can have more eye contact with the audience and try to get rid of the ppt.

3. The 2ed presenter has a good pronunciation and behaved just like a teacher, good job!

4. At the last part, we feel a little bit confused about the context, and the presenter may give some comments when students answered the question.

Questions:

1. Why don't you make the presentation in the order of the textbook?

2. Why don't you have a summary?

Task-Based Learning is a kind of learning whose primary focus of classroom activity is on the task while language is only the instrument which students use to complete it. And authentic language material, inductive reasoning, non-linguistic outcome, realistic situation and motivated student are the five features of it. In the part of designing tasks, an poem in our textbook of American Literature was taken as an example to show how to promote learning.

Comments:

 Everyone in your group has a clear task, and give us a clear presentation. It’s much better if you could give us more typical examples that are close to our daily life to explain the knowledge, and your group need more interact with students. I believe you would be better next time, come on! 

Suggestions:

 1. It seemed that you forgot to give a summary. This was necessary for a well organized presentation. 

2. For the first presenter, believe yourself a little more and try not to read the PPT. Just speak out according to your own understanding, that could be better.

3. When giving the sample, it’s better just to use the poem in the textbook rather than the one you gave as  the poem in the textbook was closer to cater to middle school students’ interest. 

Questions:

 1.How does your group appreciate the Task-based Teaching? Do you think every class needs the tasks?

 2.According to your presentation, we know the task makes our class effectively.I was wondering,these two ways, the tasks are shown by teacher or created by our students, which is better?
