They explore the interaction and language use stimulated by tasks and investigate the effect of variables such as task type, planning time and repetition. This book offers a wealth of practical ideas for teachers keen to experiment with a task-based approach. In addition, course tutors, teacher trainers and participants on Certificate, Diploma or Masters programs will find stimulating suggestions for classroom-based projects and assignments and a useful collection of classroom transcripts that can be used for detailed study, or simply as a fascinating glimpse into the language produced by learners and fluent speakers when engaged in genuine communication.
