This week at LCST the task was to ask which metro station a sightseeing spot is near. Unfortunately\u00a0the lesson wasn’t very good. The first steps of the task were very poor. It wasn’t helped by assuming students would be able to just ask where a foreign place is. The complexity of the task needed to be thought about first.
\nI suppose this needs to be key in task design. Perhaps a task design process should be considered. A preliminary idea is:<\/p>\n
Idea<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n What language functions are necessary? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n What different skills are needed? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n What is likely to occur? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n What can be done to scaffold to enable best-case scenarios? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Review<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Check what could go wrong at each step.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n So, anyway, after a focus on form on questions and longer answers, I’d say the task was finally done well, but I’ll check over everything so far in next week’s review lesson.
