Activities and tasks designed to give learners opportunities to practice
and extend their use of language.
While studying this course we learned that
there are more than one way to teach through different activities and tasks,
such as new vocabulary, functional structures, grammatical structures, subskills.
this unit focused on three different types of
activities:
Controlled
activities.- give students repeated
practice in accuracy and the form of language, and allow them to make few
mistakes
Free
activities.- allow students to use
whatever language they wish in
order to complete a task.
Freer
activities.- teacher can predict to some extent what language the student will
need to use e.g. role-plays, information-gap activities, sentence completion,
etc.
There are
also many activities and tasks that are commonly used to develop reading and
listening skills, those can be practiced receptive and not productive skills.
Once again the teacher is the one in charge of choosing the appropriate
activity according to learners.
