   Brandes & Ginnis (1986:12)
    ◦ “with student-centred learning, students are
      responsible for planning the curriculum or at least
      they participate in the choosing…the individual is
      100% responsible for his own behaviour,
      participation and learning”
   SCL also known as
    ◦   flexible learning
    ◦   independent learning
    ◦   open/distance learning
    ◦   participative learning
    ◦   self-managed learning

The theoretical basis of TBLL:
 1. Language   is for communication
 2. Language   is for conveying interpersonal
meaning
 3. Language   is for doing things with it
 3. Language   exists in contexts
The pedagogical principle of TBLL:
 Learning by doing
 Doing in learning
 Learning for doing
 Learning in interacting
The Features of TBLL:
1. Learning a language by doing things with it
2. The situations should be as real as possible
3. Language activities should always be
integrated with culture
4. Language activities should be for expressing
ideas instead of parroting things
5. There should not be an identical answer to a
question or identical outcome of an activity
6. Student-centered, not teacher-centered
7. Students are encouraged to use language
creatively
8. Activities of different skills should be
integrated
Exercises are mainly for:
1. Checking the command of language knowledge
2. Reviewing and consolidating language knowledge
3. Drilling on language forms
4. Working on separate words or sentences without
a context
5. Working for separate language skills
6. Working in rather mechanical drills, such as filling
blanks, matching, choosing the right answer,
translating separate sentences, checking answers,
locating the right sound, etc.
7. Arriving at one unified answer for the
question
:
1. Arousing students‟ interest
2. Doing things
3. Communicating ideas
4. Conveying information
5. Solving problems
6. Working in context
7. Involving more than one language
 knowledge or skill
8. Analyzing, discussing, negotiating
9. Working in pairs or groups
10. Allowing different end-products
