Going to look at two topics.
You are going to undertake a task-based activity to review the structure of a TBL for primary school framework
This lesson was designed to teach opposites through quiz-making.
In line to be published in Mar/Apr JALT “The Language Teacher”.
Before we start, I’ll admit that it misses the opportunity to teach “a” and “the”.
I completely ignored this element when making it.
This lesson will be looked at in detail
“Are cheetahs fast or slow?” = is normal way of saying it.
Language point not clear: Is a cheetah ... // Is the chicken ...
Not to confuse them with things in general and specific items... the a/the is not looked at. For their level, it’s fine??

important to expose learners to lot of comprehensible input at the start of the lesson.
words that they can use during tasks.
Remember: we are working with students that have (close to) zero English knowledge.
teacher-led listen and identify or memory game.
In this example, we could ask children if they like things like hot or cold ice-cream, hard or soft fruit and then try to remember what each students liked.

practice language on their own -- new most interesting part of the class
Opportunity to make own questions on material not covered in the lesson.
Target language closer to the students. Things in the classroom, their homes etc.
Brings the second language and real life closer together.
MEXT guidlines = no FonF. However, exposure is good.
Not forcing to learn rules or perform. Voluntary.

An overview of the lesson sequence I use.
I’m not saying don’t do PPP.
Excellent for familiarizing students with the language
Elem. Sch. -- TBL is best used to review language that is already known.
With young learners, a lesson sequence could be PPP, PPP, TBL.
no explicit grammar introduction until after the task
Some people say that TBL is PPP on it’s head. I disagree when working in a YL context. They need some focus on vocab at least before they undertake the task. (Remember - no prior knowledge.)
Repeat the lesson’s task as warm-up next time to confirm what has been learnt.

MEXT does not recommend the explicit teaching of grammar.
But, there is a way to do it without mentioning verbs, nouns, or adjectives!

After doing the task though, I discovered that this was a bit too much cognitive suport and the students found it quite easy.
