A Framework for Task-Based Learning is a complete guide to the methodology and practice of task-based language teaching. For those who wish to adopt a genuinely learner-centred approach to their teaching, it offers an alternative framework to the "presentation, practice, production" model. This book is based on sound principles of language learning and combines the best insights from communicative language teaching with a systematic focus on language form. It explains and exemplifies each component in a typical task-based lesson, from setting up a new task, through the task cycle, leading into language focused work. This approach allows the natural integration of all skills and encourages in the learner a concern for both accuracy and fluency.
