In modern times English is becoming more and more important Many teachers have been looking for ways to change the traditional forms of teaching And they have sought ways to make the classroom more studentcentered and have investigated the different ways in which students can play more active roles The one best known in this domain is called taskbased learning (TBL)
TBL is a pattern of language teaching which was raised by some teaching researchers in 1980s This pattern changes the basic theories of the use of languages into the pattern of class teaching that has actual meaning (Mohammed R Ahmed)There should be some principles in a TBL lesson
1 Studentcenteredness (Mohammed R Ahmed) Materialist dialectics holds that external causes become operative through internal causes Students are the internal causes of learning Teacher becomes operative through students So teachers should always play a lesson for the reality of students
2 Authenticity (Mohammed R Ahmed) The task given to students should be clear and true to make students know what they should do
3 Interesting Interest is the best teacher The task should be closed to life learning experience and society reality of the students And it should stimulate the interesting the curiosity and theist for knowledge of the students to make them know what they should say so they will be active to join in the activities
4 Using English English is a beautiful language if you open your mouth Many students can’t communicate with foreigners fluently after accepting education of nine or ten years Why Because they had no enough chance to practice English is learned by using and leaning is for using So teacher should force students to finish the task in English
5 Aptness The task giving to students should be according to the level of the students The task also should be from easy to difficult
Abovementioned principles are an entirety and they are supplement and complement each other
In my opinion there are some principles in a TBL lesson
1 Teachers’ teaching is for students So teacher should always plan a lesson for students
2 The task given to students should depend on English culture It can make your task more authentic
3 Teacher should give some tasks students are interested in
4 Learning English is a hard process for Chinese students The task should be according to the level of the students and be from easy to difficult
5 Learning is for using Teacher should try to make students get the habit of using English in class
Now let’s take unit 8(How was your school trip ) from go for it students’ book 2 to illustrate my understanding of TBL in the real classroom
Task1 Divide the students into six groups (seven students each group) And ask each group to give an English name for their group Each group must have a watchword In this process each student devotes hisher suggestion to the group In this way student can feel that individual is a part of collectiveness and the success of the collectiveness depends on the effort of individual so each member should try hisher best to achieve the aim of collectiveness
Task2 Warning up
Teacher introduces as a visitor you must prepare for your visiting What should you do before visiting What do you need to take Choose three things you consider them the most important from the circle to complete the form in English In the end each group chooses a represent to give an oral report to class
In this step students take part in discussing to choose three important things It can attract students’ interest In order to achieve a same task students must cooperate with each other
Task3 Find out and study the new words while listening to the tape
Teacher introduces vocabulary is the foundation of a language it plays an important role in our study Now I want each group to find out the new words while listening and next you should study the new words by using dictionary Each group finishes five words The way to teach new words is different from traditional teaching The whole task is finished by students It can embody in studentcenteredness
Task4 Listen for information
Listen and circle the expressions in the box Then listen and repeat(The outcome of this task is the accomplishment of the table in the workbook and give students some advice on how to listen for specific information)
Task5 Interview friends
Ask each team to move around the class and interview different groups’ members to look for information about their last school trip And finish the form each group must interview at least five students
Task6 Read and answer the questions
Read the article (part 3a) and answer the questions below
1 Did class 9 have a great time on the school trip
2 Where did they go
3 What did they see on they school trip
4 How did they return to school
5 Who cleaned the bus after the trip
The aim of this step is that teacher gives some suggestion on how to find out the information they need to students
Task7 Write an email
Write an email to the teacher introducing your last trip In this task students must use a computer (at school or home) to send an email It can train student multiabilities for their future development
Conclusion
TBL is an effective way to study English During using TB we need to decide whether the task is suitable for students whether the task is necessary and whether the task is to be done individual in pairs or in group
With the development of the society teachers should spend much time on researching how to teach because teaching is also endless
