What is TBLL? Ellis (2003) defines TBLL as an activity that:• Requires the learners to focus primarily on meaning ie the task is

realistic / authentic (as a classroom allows)• Has some kind of gap that the learners can close by

communicating• Requires learners to construct own productive language rather

than manipulate language that the teacher provides. (This may be a challenge for teachers beginning a L2)

• Has a clearly defined outcome, other than producing ‘correct language’.

You could/should also incorporate cultural/intercultural principles.

Ellis’ principles 6,7, 8 = iPpiT • i input• P PRACTICE• P production• I Interaction• TBLL Task based language learning + backward mapping

What we are learning in this lesson:

First we’re going to get to know one another a little bit.You will learn some words in te reo Māori for what you can see in the ocean and at the beach.

How will you know you have been successful with this learning?Focus on speaking the new te reo Māori words confidently.Focus on managing yourself well.

Ellis’ principles 1,6,7 – formulaic language, input, output

Sandwich methodology: • Target Language presentation (input)• English (first language) for comprehensibility• Target Language reinforcement

Recap - Production

• Whole class with slides without words – teacher asks, students answer

• Half class / half class Q + A• Pairs Q + A• Pingponging with volunteers• Looping student to student• Use “now you see it now you don’t”

methodology until students can remember.

Task Based Language Learning

• Teacher revisits original task for evaluation of students’ production i.e. How are they showing that they have learned this mahi? Poster? Role play? Video? Using ppt or other icloud technology to show learning?

• Celebrate learning...
