Paperback edition published today. About 43€, so hardly the bargain of the week 🙁

The 4th SLB #TBLT course is underway and so far, in numerical terms at least, is our most successful yet! The forum and tutorials are buzzing! But it's not too late to sign up for individual modules via learn.slb.coop/product/tblt-… - the next will be on needs analysis.
Also, new on the learn.SLB blog: @tshiunghan, a new SLB member from Malaysia, writes about his motivations for joining our online tutored #TBLT course starting in January! Fancy joining him? More details via the link: learn.slb.coop/putting-tblt-…
Two little bits of #TBLT-related news! First, tomorrow Dec 15th at 1pm CET, @neil_mcm will be live in the @tefl_hub FB group to chat about taking a task-based approach to language exam preparation (with a focus on Cambridge First). You can join via facebook.com/groups/thetefld… 👇
Please see Roger and Neil's answers to the first couple of questions in the video for the issue of acquiring new language and input - input is obviously important in TBLT.
"It's scary for a teacher to think that language is not what they need to teach, but instead they need to provide the conditions for learners to learn for themselves".
Just one nugget from Roger Gilabert in today's AMA on #TBLT! The recording is now here: learn.slb.coop/ask-me-anythi…
Finally, it's the last day for early bird prices on our next online tutored TBLT course, on which Roger is a valued contributer! We start in January with a great group of participants already signed up - why not join them? See learn.slb.coop/product/tblt-…
Meanwhile, anyone can submit a question about TBLT (or upvote questions already submitted) by going to slido.com and entering the code #1864146.
This Friday 2nd December at 4pm CET we will host an Ask Me Anything session about #TBLT with expert researcher and practitioner Dr. Roger Gilabert!
For more details on how to participate, see learn.slb.coop/ask-me-anythi…

And here's Sam's full review! All testimonials can be read here: learn.slb.coop/product/tblt-… and please get in touch if you have any questions.
Another #TBLT testimonial, this time from @GravellSam! It's so good to know our course had such a positive impact on his teaching practice.

Yep - I learnt a lot from the course, and it really helped me to put theory into practice. Best of luck with the new run!
Just one of the glowing testimonials about our online #TBLT course - thanks @josipa74!
We start again in January to help another cohort through the process of designing their own task-based courses.
