Teachers Exploring Tasks In English Language Teaching

"Classroom teaching and learning ordinarily center on specific language tasks. Instruction becomes more effective when teachers understand the role of language tasks, recognize their students' needs, and apply both types of information in a sound, creative way. With better task-based instruction as a goal, current and future teachers will benefit from the enlightening explorations in this book. In addition, researchers will find that this book can inform and enrich many classroom investigations."--Rebecca Oxford, University of Maryland "A rich collection of tasks, used successfully by the chapter authors, that EFL teachers anywhere can use to increase their own repertoire--or to implement task-based learning for the first time in their own classrooms. ESL teachers in the United States and other English-speaking countries likewise can make effective use of every chapter in the book."--Betty Lou Leaer, Dean, New York Institute of Technology in Amman, Jordan
