UNIT 17 PRACTICE ACTIVITIES AND TASKS FOR LANGUAGE AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

 

In this unit we learnt about tasks designed to help learners to practice their use of language, such as new vocabulary, functional exponents or grammatical structures or the sub skills of reading, listening, speaking or writing. They are categorized depending on how much control students have.

First of all, we have controlled restricted practice activity learners can only use certain items of language. Then, we have less controlled freer practice activity in which learners have some choice over what language they use. It gives students practice in using language accurately. Finally, there are free activities in this gives students practice in communicating.

When choosing activities for practicing and developing language it is up to the teacher to decide whether to do a controlled practice or not depending on the teachers’ objectives and also the teacher decide what interaction patterns to use and they can add variety to the lessons, they can use skills-based lessons and language-focused lessons.
