Exploring CLIL, CBI, TBLT, and PBL
Learning Objective
I can compare and contrast CLIL, CBI, TBLT, and PBL to determine when each method is most appropriate.
Key Concepts
Task-based language teaching centers around meaning, where students complete a task or objective by the end of the class.
A strong task-based language teaching approach starts with a needs analysis to determine what students need and want to do with the language in the real world.
Task-based language teaching moves away from traditional methods like Present, Practice, Produce, requiring more planning and creativity but leading to greater student engagement and success.
