      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      When we began planning this book, we sent out a request to language teachers worldwide who were involved in TBT. We asked them to send us tasks which had worked well with their learners together with outline lesson plans to go with them. We also asked them what advice they would give to other teachers hoping to implement TBT, and to report difficulties and problems they had encountered themselves and had heard of from colleagues in connection with TBT. The response was magnificent. So first, and most importantly, we would like to thank the contributors listed at the end of this book, not only for sending us their tasks and ideas, but also for responding so willingly to our follow-up requests for more details. Sadly we were unable to find space for all the tasks sent in – we received well over 100 – but everyone’s advice has been collated and incorporated at relevant stages in the book, and especially in the final chapter. It is their co-operation that makes this book truly worthy of its title: Doing Task-based Teaching.

      We’d also like to thank the large number of teachers and trainers whom we have met and talked to over the past ten years at conferences, workshops, and talks in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UAE, UK, and more recently at IATEFL conferences. We would also like to include participants in the TBLT 2005 conference at Leuven who sent us feedback through Steve Mann, who attended that conference. By asking questions and filling in slips of paper in workshop sessions, teachers have, sometimes unwittingly, contributed advice and ideas that have helped СКАЧАТЬ
