A Framework for Task-Based Learning and Teaching - Revised Edition

Timely and important revised edition of a significant, influential classic text which is still peerless in the field. This new edition builds on Jane Willis’s classic textbook to reflect the changing needs and priorities of language teachers in today’s classrooms. The book has been revised and expanded to reflect the widespread use of technology and the internet in language classrooms, as well as recent debates and developments in research on language learning. The book maintains the practical focus that has made the first edition of the book the leading resource on implementing Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) for over 30 years. Readers will find practical examples of task-based sequences and form focus activities for all levels, including beginners, that can be used in their own classrooms. It gives an integrated picture of TBLT that addresses the reasons for using this increasingly popular pedagogy, as well as addressing and suggesting solutions for potential difficulties.
