 NOW, IS IMPORTANT TO STATE THE TYPES OF TASKS IN TBI: 

 INFORMATION GAP ACTIVITY : 
This is an activity where students decode information from their peers. 
For instance, 
two groups of students have a map but in one of the maps the information regarding the specific streets and their names are missing the group 1 will have to ask to the other group for that info in order to fullfill the questions to develop about places and directions. 

REASONING GAP ACTIVITY: 
IT´s similar to information gap activity , but in this case students are given with two options with which they have to critically think and give their opinion about the two options. 

OPINION GAP ACTIVITY : 
This type of activity involves learners to express their feelings ,worries and opinions based on a certain situations . There is neither a wrong nor good answer.Teacher must not expect to have same level of response of each of the learners since it is a matter of opinion coming out of their brain. 



ADVATANGES: 
  • Students tend to be active and participate with great motivation towards tasks and activities in a TBL environment.
  • Language learners work and co-operate with each other in groups which builds bonds between them
  • When working in groups they are able to display and produce meaningful interaction on a given topic.
  • This process enables the students to explore previous and new features of language.

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. A video involving Jack Richards´c...
