TAKS-BASED INTRUCTION ( TBI )

What is a task-based instruction?

The activities that students carry out as part of their work as students.

                             

APPROACH OF TBI 
 Such introduction is thought to facilitate language work to understand each other and express their own meaning.

                                   

Principles of  TBI

    1.           The class activities have a perceived purpose and a clear outcome.

    2.           A pre-task, in which students work through a similar task to one that they will later do individually, is a helpful way to have student see the logic involved in what they are being asked to do.

    3.           The teacher breaks down into smaller step the logical thinking process necessary to complete the task.

   4.           The teacher needs to seek ways of knowing how involved the students are in the process.

   5.           The teacher does not consciously simplify her language is necessary to have students comprehend the current step in the pre-task.

Observations

1. The teacher tells the class that they are going to complete a time table.

2. The teacher begins by having the class help her begin to fill out the class schedule.

3. The teacher first has the student label the time periods and then days.

4. The teacher asks if a particular answer is right.

5. The teacher asks, what  about Saturday ? Do we have school on Saturday ?

Conclusion 
 The central  purpose  we are concerned with is language learning, and task present this in the form of the problem-solving negotiation between knowledge that the learner holds and new knowledge.
