7. Types of Tasks Rehearsal task : A piece of classroom work in which learners rehearse, in class, a communicative act they will carry out outside of the class (resemble - real world or target task) Pedagogical tasks : A piece of classroom work which involves learners in comprehending, manipulating, producing or interacting in the language while their attention is principally focused on meaning rather than forms (realistic-in the classroom) Activation task : A piece of classroom work involving communicative interaction, but NOT one in which learners will be rehearsing for some out-of-class communication. Rather they are designed to activate the acquisition process (expected out-of class situation) David Nunam, op. cit .(5) Lic. Rodolfo Chaviano Universidad Americana ( UAM)

21. TBLT - Definition “ A task is a piece of classroom work that involves learners in comprehending, manipulating, producing or interacting in the target language while their attention is focused on mobilizing their grammatical knowledge in order to express meaning, and in which the intention is to convey meaning rather than to manipulate form. The task should also have a sense of completeness, being able to stand alone as a communicative act in its own right with a beginning, a middle and an end." David Nunan (5) Taken from Roger Nun a n .
