6TH ENTRY 

My team and I have prepared a presentation about TASK BASED INSTRUCTION which basically involves a series of principles,teacher role , student role etc,. 

 Before defining what is TBI we need to get familiar with some basic concepts: 

TASK : is an activity with which the learner is able to use the target language with a purpose (goal). 

 NUNAN ,2004 defines TASK as a piece of classroom work that involves learners in comprehending , producing , and interacting in the target language while attention is focus on meaning rather than on form.

 Now , TBI can be defined in a simple way ... this is a method where learners have the chance to use meaningful language which means realistic language while interacting with others. For instance , BOOKING A FLIGHT , GOING TO THE DOCTOR , ASKING FOR A MEAL AT A RESTAURANT are situations in which learns must know how to react and use accurate language. 

 Advantages :

  • it creates fluency . 
  • It also builds confidence in learners. 
A basic outline on how TBI works in a class is : 

PRE-TASK: In this case , this phase can be compared with the ppp model since in ppp the language is presented in grammar or structure in a traditional way , but in TBI learners are responsible of selecting the appropriate language to any given context. Here , the teacher also presents a model of the task by doing it themselves or by playing an audio or video demonstrating the task. 


TASK : The students perform the task commonly in groups depending on the activity .  The teacher´s role is more as counselor and his participation is limited. 


REVIEW: In case the students have created a presentation , text , audio or video recording then they will judge and provide feedback in each other´s work.

WELCOME ! TO : Fundamentals of competency-based education This is just an introduction to the subject and experience I had the first time I got into the classroom.  Pre-session :  👽I had the chance to express my expectations and ideas about the subject , a sheet where my personal information such as names , contact numbers , expectations was filled out ,and delivered to the instructor.   👽 I joined a group work since the very first day of class to work on our research.  👽 It was a time to refresh knowledge and learn new information.

In this session , We took a look at    THE EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE CLASSROOM IN BASIC ENGLISH STUDENTS  Within this topic , I can tell that classroom environment does influence in students since this has to do with ilumination , temperature , desks arrangement . If these factors are not contemplated before getting students into an uncomfortable environment they might probably be affected in their concentration. I do believe that an innaproriate environment influences in our learning process when intercating in the classroom since sometimes we tend to feel sleepy when the classroom tempetature is too hot . The same happens where the room is too cold we start shaking to a point where we get hypothermia , and consequently we do not pay attention to what is going on  around us. Now let`s take a look at the desks arrangement , I do think that the traditional row arrangement is not appropriate anymore since the whole attention is at the fron...

Session 2 :   👽 Today , our instructor showed us some of the comments regarding classmates´expectations about the subject. Mine was not there ,but I hope it is taken into account. The class was focused on a presentation about key information of Task based Instruction . I took a look at some of the elements that make learners competent ,and it is incredible how many students see themselves as worthless . Everyone has a capacity which is basically the point from which each student starts , and of course it has to be motivated and updated in order to reach some of the desired competencies. Furthermore , it is quite important to provide the learner a certain situation in whhich he is able to perform any action to solve it.  👽 In addition , I learnt that having a competency assures that I´m capable of doing or solving a task wherever is needed , and that success is based in a 100% of being successful in performing such a tassk.
