Integrating TBLT and Applied Linguistics Content

College & University Education
Sun, Nov 22, 14:35-15:00 JST

Teaching SLA theory to preservice language teachers at the university level is a struggle due to a lack of appropriate materials for limited proficiency students. The speaker will share his experience crafting task-based language learning (TBLT) materials for an applied linguistics curriculum for preservice university students in Japan. Level-appropriate content and associated task-based activities that integrate pedagogical theory, classroom practice, and linguistic fluency will be introduced.
