Question 1
1 / 1 pts
In task-based learning, students do tasks only after the teacher has explained target grammar points.
  
  
That's correct!
 
Question 2
1 / 1 pts
The teacher does not control the language that students use in tasks.
  
Correct!
  
 
Question 3
1 / 1 pts
Activities in task-based learning reflect real life.
  
That's right!
  
 
Question 4
1 / 1 pts
The main advantage of task-based learning is that language is used for a genuine purpose.
  
Correct!
  
 
IncorrectQuestion 5
0 / 1 pts
Task-based learning focuses exclusively on promoting fluency.
  
Incorrect. TBL improves both fluency and accuracy. In the task stage, students are speaking without too much concern about their accuracy; so this is fluency practice. But as they rehearse (planning) and present, they are much more conscious of not making mistakes because the presentation will be public in front of their peers and teacher, so the focus becomes accuracy.
  
 
Question 6
1 / 1 pts
During the pre-task activity, the teacher must explain the target grammar point.
  
  
Correct!
 
Question 7
1 / 1 pts
The task cycle ends with students reporting to the class how they did the task and what conclusions they reached.
  
Correct!
  
 
IncorrectQuestion 8
0 / 1 pts
In the final stage of the task-based learning cycle, students collaborate to solve a problem.
  
Incorrect. In the final stage, the students reflect on the process and articulate what they have learned in terms of content or language.
  
 
Question 9
1 / 1 pts
Grammar is neglected in TBLT.
  
  
Well done! Grammar is not neglected in TBLT, it is just not the primary focus of instruction.
 
Question 10
1 / 1 pts
Task-based language teaching (or TBLT) is a distinct approach to teaching; it has nothing in common with the communicative approach.
  
  
Correct! Task-based language teaching (or TBLT) is the most recent subcategory of the communicative approach. It has many key principles in common with communicative language teaching.

The knowledge of students’ current or future language needs can help teachers choose relevant tasks that will generate rich interaction and create contexts that facilitate language learning. In order to ensure that students experience a wide range of learning experiences, teachers should make an effort to include a variety of tasks in their teaching practice. The table below introduces s ix main types of task that could be modified for use with almost any topic . Tasks Task type Processes What Sample tasks Things to keep in mind Listing Brainstorming   (requires students to draw on their own knowledge and experience) Fact-finding  (students find things out by interviewing each other or other people, or by checking relevant resources, e.g. books, the internet) People, places, things, actions, words, qualities, jo...
