Introduction
positon
like to present myself I'm Denis
Cousineau and I'm here and I
speak to you about Marisa Navy and I
would like to suggest to you a very
important part of this this new resource
it's about the action oriented tasks
that are in the resource these are very
very important for the development of
our all of our learners it is very
important that students go through a
process where the situations are
authentic they are potentially real
where the students then will see their
role and they will understand like their
their purpose in the actions these
ActionOriented Tasks
speaking interactions need to have a
context and the problem in the past have
been many times where students are
behaving - please teachers they do the
tasks where they think we have to comply
and basically they do not see themselves
in the roles what we're trying to do
with a true authentic task is to see the
reality and to be able to solve problems
and to find solutions to the problems
that we have to help you understand I'm
True Authentic Tasks
gonna give you an an on example in an in
a true example in a non example most
students come back in September and
teachers ask them to recount or talk
about an event that happened in the
summer in an FSL context basically
teachers looking for vertex am I going
to be hearing pasta Campos a is named
parfait going to be their students who
are preparing these tasks are basically
trying to comply and please the teachers
by provide providing as many of those in
there without necessarily thinking or
going over the whole content of the
speaking so the speaking in itself has
no true roots if we want because
basically it's all about talking to the
whole classroom without a real context
now in a true authentic past basically
we will face a situation so let's
pretend now that we are in the shopping
center and we are some one of our
members and the family has lost an
important jewel or an important
belonging then the responsibility goes
right to the task we have to go and get
somehow we need to get people to help us
find the objects so with the social
linguistic rules apply I have to explain
the situation I have to be polite I have
to describe the object and hopefully
find solution so basically as a learner
when I am in those speaking situation or
speaking interactions there is a purpose
there's a real need for me to be good
and to be developing those skills so
that I'm people can understand my issues
or my problems then I'm not speaking to
please a teacher I'm speaking to resolve
my issues and if learners see those
situations they're likely going to be
engaged in FSL
