Reverse-Engineering Communication Tasks
Lamber, Craig
ELT Journal, v58 n1 p18-27 Jan 2004
This article introduces an approach to planning sequences of communication tasks that require learners to become personally involved in their learning. By drawing on their own ideas and experiences, as a product of earlier tasks in a given sequence, learners generate the content and resource material on which subsequent tasks operate. The article is intended to increase understanding of the potential of tasks as a planning tool in L2 education, and to provide practical examples for teachers and materials designers.
