Hello everyone,
It was my first experience for a research. I plan to explore the differences in grammar teaching in the two kinds of books: one is task-based and one is currently used in a target secondary/elementary school. But I still cannot find the appropriate TB materials for me to base the comparison on. I saw the series ATLAS 1-4 of Nunan (1995) is claimed to be task-based, but I couldn’t find ways to get it in pdf. Could you kindly give me some suggestions on my problem?
Manh thanks!
Hi Tu Hang ,
Could you please elaborate a little bit more? Which context are you working on? If it is English teaching at the compulsory school level, and you are comparing books based on grammar teaching method and task based teaching than a lot of research has been done on it already. Nunan's books actually might be quite old for this kind of study,
Dear Tu, I have recently taught a course on TBLT and read (rather) widely about it. And, in all of that literature, there was no mention of an EFL textbook that is consistently using a task-based approach. (The same is certainly true for all major German EFL textbooks which are used in school). Why don't you write to David Nunan, Jane or Dave Willis directly? And ask them about any textbook series that might occur to them?
Why do you need the textbook in pdf? What is wrong with a paper version?
You may have more success if, in addition to "Task" based, you broaden your search terms to include terms such as:
- Project
- Work
- Labor
- Experience
- Practice
- Application/Applied
- Authentic
- Use
