Designing Authentic Tasks

Part 1: Introduction

Look at the sample chart in the PPT provided (slide 17) and draw up a table showing: what type of texts/documents your  prospective students typically read, write  about, listen to and/or talk about, what they  do with each type (purpose + task) and  which skills and strategies are likely to be  most used with each. Next, review the questions on the PPT (slides 4-7) and complete the Padlet board provided. Reconsider your chart, if necessary.


Part 2: Task Design

Based on your notes above and the examples provided, pick one of your units, and design ONE suitable task for your prospective students integrating at least two skills. Choose appropriate texts and use the into/through and beyond framework presented in class. 

Next, pick another unit and design TWO different tasks for your prospective ESP learners. One task must be aimed at presenting and practising relevant vocabulary and the other one must be targeted at one or two specific grammar points. Use the into/through and beyond framework presented in class.


Please, submit parts 1 and 2 no later than November 13 by midday.
