My opinion on TBL

In my opinion, TBL is a great way of making the learning of a second language a lot easier for our students. It´s a lot more motivating than just giving them a series of exercises with no context at all; it makes them investigate, get into the procces of their own learning and also introduces more than one subject of learning: our students can be investigating about tipes of food in the UK and at the same time learn about things like the impact that colonization had in English culture, and that´s only one example of many we can list.

As teachers, our role in this way of teaching will be very important; the students are the ones that “do the work” but it´s thanks to a good guidance from teacher that they are able to achieve the knowledge intended with the proposal of a certain project. We have to keep an eye on our class so as to help them in everything they might need and to make sure their projects don´t go out of control.

I believe that it is not easy to do a task based in the school because you have to involve yourself more than ever and also you have to involucrate pupils what may be could be the harder thing.  But we are not in 1920, we are in 2010 and we have to change the learning model, the way to learn and in my opinion task based model is really good way to do that.

Like this Chinese Proverb.

"Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand."

We must learn more about it.

I really think that society has to evolve, so we need make changes in many areas and, of course, one of those areas is education. 
Children need a rich exposure to language and multiple opportunities to use the language for themselves in real situations. Teacher is the person who has to provide it to them with well-designed task-based programms, so teachers have to be ready and qualified for doing it. 
WE NEED TO LEARN ABOUT IT AND TO ENCORAUGE TO DO IT TO ANOTHER TEACHERS!


                                                                                                                                    


I think that this kind of learning is more attractive for children than others because they use the information that they find and they have to organise it. They feel differents, more independent.
Besides, teachers have a difficult task. Guide them!
