9. Consensus • PWP • Pre- energize, activate back ground knowledge, provide a reason for the task, get rid of the landmines(vocab.) • While- focus on the target task • Post- personalize, language focus • Information first, then the information carrier • Priority given to what the language is talking about, rather than how the language is constructed

10. Task---the least valued but most fruitful • Talking about a trip you made about a tourist spot • Think of a tourist spot where you made notes on • How to get there • What you can do there • What you like about it • Things that happened to you when you were there • Try to find some of the items to illustrate your report • Photographs • Postcards • Magazine or newspaper reports • Maps • Souvenirs • Report back to the rest of the class

17. 思维方式与价值观 什么是教育？ “当我们将学过的东西忘得一干二净时,最后剩下来的,就是教育的本质了.”

18. 英语教育中的观念更新 • Learning a language is primarily about • NOT words, phrases, structures, collocations, grammar rules • BUT what you can do with the language • Words, phrases and structures are absolutely important for the tasks, but by trying to perform the tasks with the language from the very beginning, you’ll gradually have a better and easier command of them.

19. For every module in the coursebook now in use there is a topic and a designated task. • Have your students work around the task instead of the words, phrases and structures and you’ll eventually make everything, not only the ability to do things with the language, but also the words, phrases and structures, which is believed to make the main part of a test.
