Effective language tasks and activities

Read:

• Ur: Task – pp. 43-59

• Based on the reading, write a list of musts about effective tasks and activities - write a list of things that you should remember when designing tasks/activities for students.

About your terminology log (TL): This is your list of terms/terminology specific to the various topics. While reading materials about language teaching, you will come across terms that are specific to language teaching. Keep a note of these along with a brief explanation. You decide which ones you consider useful to be familiar with. However, I would expect you to include terms that are in bold print in the reading materials. The log is not a list of general vocabulary that appear in the reading materials.
