Tasks and Communicating in Language Classrooms

About this book

Tasks and Communicating in Language Classrooms is a significant new work in the area of classroom communication. This text takes a principled approach to how one can take the basic question-and-answer paradigm found in many if not most language textbooks and reformulate it into interactive tasks that place communication in the hands of the student-learners. This text is practical in terms of task development and task-based test design and development and simultaneously well-grounded in theory and research. Continuing in the tradition of bringing theory research and practice together into one volume Lees work is a welcome addition to the McGraw-Hill Second Language Professional Series.
