last oral presentation about approaches. In this ppt there are links to useful videos so as to get aquainted with the approaches I had to deal with.

2. CONTENT-BASED APPROACH.
• THIS APPROACH WAS LAUNCHED IN THE 1970’S AND IT INTEGRATES
THE LEARNING OF LANGUAGE WITH THE LEARNING OF SOME OTHER
CONTENT, FOR EXAMPLE: ACADEMIC SUBJECT MATTER.

3. TASK-BASED APPROACH.
• THIS APPROACH PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH A NATURAL CONTEXT FOR LANGUAGE USE. AS THEY HAVE TO
SOLVE A TASK, THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT, AND TO EXPRESS THEIR OWN MEANINGS.

• PRE-TASK (SIMILAR ACTIVITY TO WHAT COMES AFTER)
• LOGICAL THINKING (IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE TASK)
• SCAFFOLDING (PROVIDED BY THE TEACHER TO SOLVE THE TASK)
• IN THIS WAY STUDENTS CAN HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERACTION.
• 3 TYPES OF TASKS ACCORDING TO PRAHBU: INFORMATION-GAP ACTIVITY (EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION TO
COMPLETE A TASK). OPINION-GAP ACTIVITY (STUDENTS GIVE THEIR PERSONAL OPINIONS, EMOTIONS AND
BELIEFS) AND A REASONING-GAP ACTIVITY (STUDENTS INFER INFORMATION FROM WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN
GIVEN).

4. PARTICIPATORY APPROACH
• IT WAS ORIGINATED IN THE 1960’S BY PAULO FREIRE. IT IS SIMILAR TO
CBI IN THAT THE CONTENT IS MEANINGFUL TO THE STUDENTS, BUT
DIFFERENT IN THE NATURE OF THIS CONTENT.
• EDUCATION IS NOT VALUE FREE. IT OCCURS IN A PARTICULAR CONTEXT.
• THE GOAL OF THIS APPROACH IS TO HELP STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND
THE SOCIAL, HISTORICAL, OR CULTURAL FORCES AFFECT THEIR LIVES,
AND TO EMPOWER STUDENTS TO TAKE DESICIONS.
