Doing Task-Based Teaching

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

Queer Beats: Gender and Literature in the EFL Classroom

This chapter presents a task-based lesson sequence based on Judith Butler's Gender Trouble. Gender Trouble is a great piece of philosophical literature. However, as philosophical literature is a genre rarely found in EFL teaching, this chapter first demonstrates in detail the merits of this genre for the teaching ofEnglish for Academic Purposes. After a brief analysis of the source text, which deconstructs the entire sex-gender link and presents both sex and gender as free-floating, this chapter presents task-based methodology and how it is utilized in a lesson aimed at building gender awareness and acceptance. In the target task students are asked to take the role of an ethics teacher at an Irish high school, in which the discussion arose whether the school should introduce unisex toilets and changing rooms in order to not discriminate against transsexual students. Tue study of Butler's philosophy will provide students with both the knowledge and language to accomplish this task. Open follow-up discussions often lead to powerful ethical insights in the context of gender, homo- and transsexuality.

The various types of syllabi and the host of related issues in the field of second language teaching and course development manifest the significance of syllabus design as one of the most controversial areas of second language pedagogy. Teachers should be familiar with different types of syllabuses and be able to critically analyze them. Issues in Syllabus Design addresses the major types of syllabuses in language course development and provides readers with the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of implementing syllabuses for use in language teaching programs. It starts with an introduction to the concept of syllabus design along with its philosophical foundations and then briefly covers the major syllabus types from a historical perspective and pedagogical significance: the grammatical, situational, skill-based, lexical, genre-based, functional notional, content, task-based, negotiated, and discourse syllabus. This volume helps teachers to be familiar with different types of syllabuses and enables them to critically analyze different syllabus types.

Tasks that promote a collaborative communication strategy may help learners produce more accurate and fluent language in conversation with foreigners. To develop my Japanese learners' awareness of this strategy, I designed a syllabus with a range of one-way tasks in which they practised making repairs to each others' communication breakdowns. Use of this strategy allowed increasing accuracy, fluency and discourse equality across two intercultural parties.

Doing Task-Based Teaching Tasks in Second Language Learning

What are we to make of task-based learning and task-based teaching (TBL/TBT)? Its advocates promote its efficacy with fervour, but not everyone shares their enthusiasm for, as Samuda and Bygate point out, ‘Tasks have been an element in second language teaching and research for over 30 years, and yet their use continues to invite controversy’ (p. 1). Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that despite some of the dramatic claims for the superiority of TBL over more traditional form-focused teaching, there is little classroom-based research evidence to prove or disprove such claims. Will the two books under review help to resolve the controversy in any way and, speaking personally, will they help this reviewer to arrive at a more informed evaluation of TBL's efficacy?

Before trying to answer these two questions, it is worth describing what these two books contain and what, if anything should command a reader's attention.
