Task: A panacea for too much? - Anthony Bruton

Some ambiguous and confused aspects of task-based language teaching will be covered. The topics to be considered are: definitions of task and target task; syllabus selection and sequencing of tasks; expected language learning in tasks; possible
pedagogical focus in tasks; accuracy, fluency and complexity variables in TBLT; collaboration/cooperation; actual implementation of TBLT. There will be time for debate.
