A task a day keeps the __ away... Complete the sentence. 😅
Starting tomorrow, on the TBLT Task Bank IG and FB profiles, we'll share one task per day, designed for teaching one of the 7 languages we have at the bank right now.
7 days = 7 tasks in 7 different languages!
Are you part of an organized group/association of teachers? Sharing tips, materials, teaching inspiration? Share the TASK BANK with your community! 🤝
Or send us an e-mail or message and we would love to contact them directly and introduce the Task Bank to your community!
Tasks & Research
The "Personal Trust Foundation" task appeared in the article: "Task complexity, focus on L2 constructions, and individual differences: A classroom-based study" written by Révész in 2011 and published in the Modern Language Journal.
It also considered learners' linguistic self‐confidence, anxiety, and self‐perceived communicative competence. Effects on individual differences were not significant BUT, interesting trends for the relationship of syntactic complexity, accuracy, and lexical diversity appeared.
Curious to know what that was? Are you interested in understanding how tasks can influence the language used by learners in class? Find out here:

Thank you everyone for the support and enthusiasm in helping us bridge the gap between research and practice! 🔗
Have you checked out the "Personal Trust Foundation" task uploaded to the TASK BANK by Andrea Révész? The task was adapted from a 1988 article and it targets English lgg learning, fostering many competencies: Linguistic, Sociolinguistic, Discourse and Strategic.
After making an individual decision, learners have to explain their choices, convince their colleagues, and, in small groups, reach an agreement about the amount of money to be allocated to each program based on its merit.
This task can be adapted to learners of different age groups, but it is suggested for high intermediate speakers or beyond. Go to tblt.indiana.edu and search for the word "trust". Adapt it to your lgg and context, implement it, and come back here to tell us how it went! 😍
