Jacobs, George

English Teacher: An International Journal, v4 n1 p54-64 Oct 2000

Reports a study that investigated three concepts from the literature on task-based language teaching: planned/unplanned, closed/open, and required information exchange. After a workshop on these concepts, 33 inservice English-as-a-Second-Language teachers in the Philippines were asked to label and adapt activities according to the three concepts and to give their views. Results are discussed. (Author/VWL)
