Task-Based English Language Teaching in the Digital Age

Perspectives from Secondary Education

By: Valentina Morgana

This book illustrates the developments of task-based language teaching (TBLT) approaches in relation to the evolution of digital technologies. It highlights how technology-mediated TBLT principles can support English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning and contribute to understanding new classroom dynamics. Drawing from the key theoretical concepts of TBLT, the author discusses the integration of tasks and technologies from a secondary education perspective, which is often under-represented in the TBLT literature. Morgana looks at how the EFL secondary classroom has been recently re-conceptualised as a social place whose boundaries go far behind the traditional school settings. This book provides theoretical approaches and classroom implementation practices by presenting four case studies on the different L2 skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking). The volume is organised into two main sections. The first section focuses on the theoretical approaches to TBLT and highlights the key concepts behind this methodology. This section also looks at the recent development of a technology-mediated TBLT framework and its implementations in various EFL educational contexts. The second section presents four case studies of secondary-school EFL learners in Italy. Each case study focuses on a different language skill, providing examples of classroom practices in both blended and online learning settings. Pedagogical recommendations for teachers are provided at the end of each case study. The book adopts a multimodal approach and aims at providing scholars in applied linguistics and TBLT practitioners with theories and implementation practices to understand the ways technologies are shaping tasks and mediating students' learning processes.

The Story's Villain - part 1

By: Valentina Linz

There are no doubts about Caetana Pimenta's normality, she's the most common girl you've ever heard of. The most boring sixteen years old that ever existed, without qualities or flaws. But impressions can trick you, and she knew it very well only by looking at someone's face. That's because she had the gift of knowing someone's desire, someone's deepest need, before even knowing their name. The problem was that the person's desire would torment her until she made it come true. On a common day, she crossed paths with a woman that would change her destiny forever: a stranger who needed another stranger dead. But Caetana didn't know who it was... and if she should make that desire come true. Nothing could get worse, because right after that encounter, she got the news that her paraplegic mother had entered a coma, without any apparent reasons. No, things could get a lot worse! The disasters in her life were complete when she was followed by a shadowy figure, that seemed to know that stranger's desire. And who thought that who should die was her!
