When students work on tasks in pairs or small groups, they use language at every step: planning, executing, and presenting. This demonstration shows students planning and describing their own Utopian societies.

In all honesty, I normally hate esl activities because I find them too immature; however, I loved this one. It works perfectly for adults and you can work with many topics at the same time. I'm going to use for a review. Thank you and congratulations!

[@EstelioSelvinaMateus]

I loved the method. Its very productive in fact, simple to use, it gives students chance to speak and express themselves...

[@sabinnah11]

This is a great example, thank you for sharing it. Greetings from Argentina.

[@jawadsharifi2547]

Thanks a million, dear teacher for your great lesson! It was so useful to me!

[@JBCamot]

It is a wonderful video ,which help me to improve ,focus more on the methodologic courses that I am taking.thank so much indeed!

[@bondansuratno8155]

Thank you for sharing. I have tried it and it works. I'm waiting for your next video.

[@joymartel8507]

Wow! I really liked this idea for a variety of reasons - novelty, creativity, vocabulary. When I was thinking of developing my own task-based activity, I was stuck in "reality mode." Her idea of a murder mystery is a clever one as well.

[@teachermerci4279]

Great lesson. Students practice speaking.in.a very dinamic way

[@jasontsing203]

This is great! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@dougfreshking1977]

I think this is a great lesson. I would like to try it out with my students. Where can I get a copy of the worksheet with laws/name of country/ regulations that the teacher uses in this video?

[@alialimin6292]

This teaching and learning is very interesting. I would like to try it with my students.

[@dwheresmymana]

This looks like and excellent activity. It's simple and it engages the intellect and requires a bit of creativity. I teach EFL to university students, and I think this activity would be a great fit for my students. Thanks!

[@chandrashekharupadhyaya6530]

Great lessons. Very useful.Thank you Ma'am. 🙏

[@BridgeTEFL]

Hello Uncle5cary, this is a great activity for more advanced students. I could see how beginner and intermediate students might find this too difficult.

[@susansang11]

Great video, thank you.

[@EdwardKeyte]

good English video, Thank you. I'll share with my students.

[@sioltheone6380]

I loved your class and had fun even when I wasn´t there. Task based activities are great and fun specially when students are able to communicate their ideas.

[@BridgeTEFL]

Hi Siol! Glad to hear you enjoyed the course :)

[@BridgeTEFL]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@BLACKEAGLEDOJO]

Thanks so much; that shall be so useful in my classes

[@UES_Ricardo_Perez]

What a wonderful lesson!!!👌

[@alannewson852]

Great lesson - thanks for sharing this :)

[@grettelcarranza6331]

This is great! thanks for sharing

[@Ismella]

I really love your idea! The lesson is great! The task you set is a well-chosen one and very learner-centered. All skills are integrated in the lesson and the Ss use the lg productively and receptively, in an unrehearsed context. Is the handout which you gave them available somewhere on the web? Cheers

[@user-tl8jr4ne4c]

I salute you, a unique method in reality. Appreciated Amir

[@camilodiaz3692]

Congrats! That was a great TBL lesson demo; the pre-task and the task cycle were pretty clear. However, I would like you to show us how to properly give feedback to students. How do you point the mistakes they commited during the task?

[@BridgeTEFL]

Hi Camilo, thanks for watching our video! One of our preferred methods for correcting mistakes is to make a note of all the mistakes you observed and then go over them with the entire class once the activity is over. Give them the chance to make the correction (as a group) before you do it yourself. This allows them to think critically about their mistakes without singling out any one student.

[@fathinaser7541]

Kindly, did you apply this method before,,by chance cab I get the worksheet?

[@lauramujica3196]

Thanks! Very useful!!

[@baharslt2512]

That was so amusing and helpful. I would try to use it in my class someday

[@AymanAssaf]

@yunita311 This video was filmed at our school in Denver, Colorado. It was made about 2 years ago now. Unfortunately, we don't know exactly how many students were in the class. Good luck with your project!

[@linagomez8299]

[@sssalsera]

[@keremtasci538]

[@TonksToza]

Lovely demonstration of this idea. Can you post the worksheet please?

[@juliethcamilamartinezcruz4429]

Excellent :) I like a lot... I would like to know, what should I include in the guideline to do this activity

[@MrChinchilla_hn]

Thank you for the sample. I would really like to see the application in EFL for any grade in junior school.

[@salahaddina.z467]

thanks madam. actually you had a very very good teaching.

[@adrianapeguero5620]

I think this is a great activity. I would also like to ask you for the worksheet you provide the students with. Thanks a lot.

[@bidhanhazra3071]

Thank you for nice deliberation

[@drtaraknathchattopadhyay1776]

Informative lecture.

[@tcheryacine1924]

[@BridgeTEFL]

[@joelgonzalespasapera6774]

I love so much this Lesson

[@paufer11]

[@EulerCordoba]

[@meghanadharne7438]

Very useful session thank you

@pooch18 I'm glad you enjoyed it! We actually have over 100 videos on our website, TEFLVideos. Take a look! BridgeTEFL

[@davidzack4753]

[@ursulalenthe146]

I think this speaking lesson is great! I would love to try it with my class. Is there a possibility to get the worksheet that goes with it?

[@BridgeTEFL]

Hello Ursula, Apologies for the delayed response! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately, we do not have the worksheets that go along with the video, but if you are looking for some teaching resources and more tips, follow us on Facebook or check out our BridgeTEFL blog: bridge.edu/tefl/blog :)

[@adithyaadiga10]

Excellent speech

[@dr.srikant2251]

Thank you

[@JBCamot]

Jajajajajajajajajajajjajaj,very funny comment "eyadoshy" . You are right when it comes to saying about the teacher.she is really gorgeous.

[@makinawdandy6699]

That was interesting, but we did not see how you give the students corrections. I think that would be valuable to show. I would like to see the approach that you take to accomplish that.

[@sandrasandia]

@lackadaddyz THIS IS NOT A TBL CLASS WHERE THE MAIN AIM IS TO HAVE STUDENTS "DISCOVER" THROUGH COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITIES. HERE, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HER MAIN AIM IS TO HAVE THEM SPEAKING, WHICH IS FULFILLED, BUT WHAT DID THEY "NOTICE" SHE GAVE THEM EXAMPLES OF WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO PRODUCE. NOT A TBL CLASS.

[@GonzaloBarahonaPetit]

where can i find all this material to work wih my students?

[@JadeCarter66]

Can you share the resources used in this video? The worksheets? I might use this activity with my students in online learning due to this pandemic occurring right now

[@shobhaahirrao1866]

Very imformative lession mam🙏👍

[@mprosiles]

what ESL level would these students be considered?

[@lt.r.b.chaudhary4328]

Thank you mam very useful lesson

[@isacris34]

Loved it! Would you share the handout/document?

[@brotigayen6858]

Good effort.

[@silosanaselvarasa9670]

Great.

[@5ashisbiswas7]

Great learning

[@mukeshmahale7281]

Great idea

[@bodunchar]

In a natural learning environment (play) the parent would verbalise what the child is doing, "now you are drawing a house" etc etc. Perhaps you could adapt this by introducing basic play tasks and getting the children to repeat

[@mjsa7212]

Thanks for the video. I wonder if I could ask you to introduce one of the best free sites to download Task-Based activities from. Much appreciated.

[@meghanadharne7438]

Very useful session

[@davidzack4753]

please, post the worksheet. i just cant find it.

[@JMyepes]

[@valeriavaleri6410]

Could you give an example of what to include in the guideline

[@ramsinhparmar8658]

Nice speech

[@vandanarami9574]

Very good

[@misticosan]

It is not always like that. Consider a multilingual class. In this particular situation Ss will be forced to use the little language they have.
