日時: 2025年 10月24日 (金) ~ 25(土)

場所: 国際基督教大学 (International Christian University)

-------------------------------------

Dr. Lara Bryfonski from Georgetown University will give a workshop on task-based materials for the second language classroom. Participants will learn basic principles of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and why task-based materials are effective for second language learning in any and all contexts. The workshop will begin with a short lecture and will include a series of hands-on activities. In these activities, we will examine tasks and discuss how their features promote meaningful language learning.  Participants will get the chance to modify tasks for their future or current classrooms and receive feedback. In-service teachers participating in Workshop 2 are welcome to bring their own materials for adaptation. The workshop will be conducted mainly in English. No previous knowledge about TBLT is necessary! 

Workshop outcomes: 

1) Teachers will be able to identify the key features of tasks in TBLT and will be able to describe how tasks can support meaningful interaction in language classrooms.

2) Teachers will be able to evaluate the quality of tasks based on their future or current learners' needs and teaching contexts.

3) Teachers will be able to modify tasks and activities for use in their future or current classrooms based on the principles of TBLT.

Target Audience: Pre-service teachers (university students) and language teachers (English, Japanese, or other world languages) in primary, secondary, or higher education, and researchers and teacher educators interested in task-based materials.
