This document outlines the language focus phase of the Task Based Language Teaching (TBLT) framework. It discusses four starting points for analysis activities: meaning, words/parts of words, categories of meaning/use, and phonology. These activities help students focus on language forms after processing meaning. Examples of analysis include identifying lexical repetition, classifying words by function/meaning, and listening for stressed words. The document also describes creating a pedagogic corpus from class materials to serve as examples for future activities and tests. The language focus phase concludes with students examining text features, adding new words to vocab books, and practicing new language.

This paper is to inform translators, especially would-be translators, who are still studying at colleges and various universities in Vietnam, who strive to become translation professionals, the potential traps they may get caught in when rendering Vietnamese texts into English in terms of linguistic and cultural naturalness. In conclusion, the author would like to significantly contribute to the study of Vietnamese – English ranslations in his university through this research report. The author of this paper is of the opinion that it can be considered a companion of all people who are seeking to improve their Vietnamese – English translation skills as well as all business document translations. According to Razmjou (2003), translators and interpreters are not made overnight so for students whose dreams are to become excellent translators and interpreters, it is high time they upgraded their knowledge for future jobs. Hopefully, readers of this paper will find it useful in their work and study or at least see it as a reference worth looking at in closer detail.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. INTRODUCTION
These are the component of the task cycle. Language focus is the last
phase of TBL framework. It illustrates four starting points for analysis
activities, showing how they can be handled in a learner-centered way.
The main purpose of the analysis activities is to highlight specific
language features which will help students to focus their attention on
forms of the language which they have already processed for meaning.
4. FROM MEANING TO FORM
Emphasizes on students understanding and
expressing meaning.
Give confidence to students to try out new
combinations of words.
LANGUAGE ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES
Called consciousness-raising activities. These activities promote observation through
identification and critical investigation of linguistic features students can increase their
repertoire of useful lexical language.
Setting. Ensure that the focus and purpose of each activity is clear.
Monitoring see how they are getting on help out, but do not do it for them let them think
for themselves keep an eye on weaker learners and
Reviewing analysis activities. The teacher takes the lead again ask students for further
examples give students time to select examples get the class to repeat in chorus once
or twice for pronunciation or intonation problems.
5. STARTING POINTS FOR ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES
The three main starting points for
analysis activities.
(With spoken text also we
consider phonological features)
The general recommendation is to start with an activity that focuses on the words and
phrases expressing meaning related to the main topic checked in the text. Then work on
two or three activities more on the other starting points. They can be done in class or
set for homework.
Meaning: Themes, notions and functions: The topic in a text
is easy to identify by the lexis. This mean that our students can
notice lexical repetition and how this can form cohesive ties in
the text through the theme words and phrases
Words or parts of words. The study of the form and uses of
the very common words,
called “grammatical”, will help
students to consolidate their idea of the grammar of
the target language. So, these activities can involve:
classification according to grammatical function,
exploring collocation, classification according to
meaning and use.
Categories of meaning or use. This activity is ideal to have a revision once students
have met several uses of common words because they can match each example to a
category. Don’t forget to look up words’ basic categories of meaning and use.
Phonology: intonation, stress and sounds. Learners need practice in identifying the
main message-bearing words in the flow of speech. They
should not listening to sentences but to listen for tone units
and stressed words. By doing these kind of exercises they
will get clear that the stressed words are the ones which
carry the important information.
Semantic
concepts
Parts of

Categories
of meaning
and use
6. LANGUAGE PRACTICE ACTIVITIES
These activities are a good way to learn lexical phrases. They can be used for consolidation
and revision. These activities are relevant to the process of learning since in an exposure-rich
classroom- common words and phrases and patterns are continually recycled. This allows
students to create their own patterns, which provides confidence and a sense of security.
7. CREATING A PEDAGOGIC CORPUS
The texts students read and listen to form a corpus of language, it is called pedagogic corpus,
since it is common to all students in the class.
It should be a source for examples and future language activities or tests.
The use of the pedagogic corpus in language analysis activities encourages learners to reflect
on the language they have already experienced.
Students turn into “creative learners”
It helps students in the motivation progress as well as language description.
It is important to expose students to a well-balanced pedagogic corpus.
SUMMARY
LANGUAGE FOCUS
ANALYSIS
Students examine and then discuss specific features of the text or transcript of the recording.
They can enter new words, phrases and patterns in vocabulary books.
PRACTICE
Teacher conducts practice of new words, phrases, and patterns occurring in the data, either
during or after the Analysis.
