A Task-Based Approach to Materials Development
Nunan, David
Advances in Language and Literary Studies, v1 n2 p135-160 Jul 2010
The purpose of this chapter is to present a task-based approach to materials development. In the first part of the chapter, I sketch out the evolution of task based language teaching, drawing on a distinction between synthetic and analytical approaches to syllabus design first articulated by Wilkins (1976).
