Task-Based English Language Teaching in the Digital Age: Perspectives from Secondary Education: Advances in Digital Language Learning and Teaching

Autor Dr Valentina Morgana
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 iul 2023
This book illustrates the developments of task-based language teaching (TBLT) approaches in relation to the evolution of digital technologies. It highlights how technology-mediated TBLT principles can support English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning and contribute to understanding new classroom dynamics. Drawing from the key theoretical concepts of TBLT, the author discusses the integration of tasks and technologies from a secondary education perspective, which is often under-represented in the TBLT literature. Morgana looks at how the EFL secondary classroom has been recently re-conceptualised as a social place whose boundaries go far behind the traditional school settings. This book provides theoretical approaches and classroom implementation practices by presenting four case studies on the different L2 skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking).The volume is organised into two main sections. The first section focuses on the theoretical approaches to TBLT and highlights the key concepts behind this methodology. This section also looks at the recent development of a technology-mediated TBLT framework and its implementations in various EFL educational contexts. The second section presents four case studies of secondary-school EFL learners in Italy. Each case study focuses on a different language skill, providing examples of classroom practices in both blended and online learning settings. Pedagogical recommendations for teachers are provided at the end of each case study. The book adopts a multimodal approach and aims at providing scholars in applied linguistics and TBLT practitioners with theories and implementation practices to understand the ways technologies are shaping tasks and mediating students' learning processes.

Recenzii

This books sheds light on how the use of technological means can impact the use, design and implementation of a Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) approach in second and foreign language environments. From theory to practice, the book provides insightful ideas and information on how to appropriately select the tasks and technological devices for successful TBLT environments.
This book presents an innovative approach to applying Technology-mediated Task-based Language Learning (TBLT) at Italian secondary schools. It demonstrates a successful combination of sociocultural theory (SCT) and cognitive interaction hypothesis to implement the approach in an EFL secondary classroom. Through carefully selected and well-written four case studies focusing on four language skills, Dr Morgana offers readers with practical strategies and techniques for applying TBLT mediated by digital technologies to EFL classrooms.
