520 _a"This book is a balanced introduction to the theoretical and practical aspects of communicative task design. It is aimed at all second and foreign language teachers and trainee teachers who want to develop their own tasks, or adopt/adapt those of others. The main aim is to integrate recent research and practice in language teaching into a framework for analysing learning tasks. A wide range of examples from published and unpublished sources has been included to illustrate the points being made. These issues and questions are addressed: What are the essential components of a communicative task? What is the relationship between task design, curriculum development, syllabus design and methodology? What does recent research have to say about the nature of listening, speaking, reading and writing? What are the implications of this research for task design? How should tasks be graded, sequenced and integrated with other exercise and activity types? How can task design be introduced into teacher education programmes? This book will help teachers design and implement communicative tasks for a wide variety of learner types and teaching situations." (Book Cover)
