UNIT 17 PRACTICE ACTIVITIES AND TASKS FOR LANGUAGE AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT







     In this unit I learned a lot of practice activities and tasks for language and skills development like controlled activities give students repeated practice in accuracy and the form of language, and allow them to make few mistakes.On the other hand, free activities allow students to use whatever language they wish in order to complete a task, activities focus on fluency,giving them opportunities to try to interact and communicate for example;dialogues, problem-solving activities, sharing or comparing ideas teacher can predict to some extent what language the student will need to use for example role plays, gap- fills, surveys. In addition, the activities, and tasks designed to give learners opportunities to practice and extend their use of language. Practice activities differ in several ways: What Skill or sub-skill do they focus on? The aims of the activity and their interaction pattern. Furthermore, the classroom climate is important. If students experience the classroom as a caring, supportive place where there is a sense of belonging and everyone is valued and respected they will tend to appreciate more fully in the process of learning. On the classroom,  teacher applies a variety of task where can integrate skills according to learner needs  fostering motivation to learn. Ideally, tasks should be challenging, but achievable asking for students  read an adventure story or play a recording where they can develop the receptive and productive skills.Finally, each lessons usually consist on a series of linked activities and can be used done individually, in pairs  or in groups or (mingling) moving around the class to discuss or find out something from one classmate after the other.
