"This book documents how teachers, working in school foreign language learning contexts and teaching beginner learners of languages other than English, learn about and use tasks. It first presents a pedagogically researched account of how teachers learn about, design and evaluate tasks, after being introduced to TBLT during an in-service programme. The authors then go into classrooms to explore ways in which teachers continue to use tasks, as part of their regular ongoing classroom language programmes, following their in-service education. The book documents how the teachers use tasks to open up opportunities for language learning for students and investigates how teachers understand and position tasks and TBLT as relevant and of value to their teaching contexts. The challenges that teachers face in incorporating TBLT into their practice are also explored. The book suggests how the use of the task as a pedagogic tool may contribute to ongoing understanding about TBLT"--

Dit boek documenteert hoe leraren vreemdetalenonderwijs taaltaken leren kennen en gebruiken. Het geeft eerst een verslag van hoe leraren taaltaken leren ontwerpen en evalueren, nadat ze ermee kennismaakten tijdens een bijscholingsprogramma. De auteurs gaan vervolgens de klaslokalen in om na te gaan op welke manieren leraren taken blijven gebruiken, als onderdeel van hun reguliere klaswerking, na hun bijscholing. Het boek documenteert hoe de leraren gebruikmaken van taken om kansen te creëren bij het taalleren en onderzoekt hoe leraren taken en TBLT begrijpen en positioneren als relevant en van waarde voor hun onderwijscontext. De uitdagingen waarmee leraren worden geconfronteerd bij het integreren van TBLT in hun praktijk worden ook onderzocht. Het boek suggereert hoe het gebruik van de taak als een pedagogisch hulpmiddel kan bijdragen aan een blijvend begrip over TBLT"--

This open access book presents an account of five teacher educators who, over a two-year period, undertook a research project with five teachers of languages other than English in pre-secondary schools in New Zealand. Their collaborative aim was to develop students’ intercultural capability in the context of learning a new language. The school participants were typical of many in New Zealand’s pre-secondary sector; the teachers had limited language-teaching experience and limited prior knowledge of how to develop the intercultural dimension in their language classrooms, and the students were largely at the beginning stages of learning a new language. The book discusses the findings obtained using a range of data collection methods, including classroom observations, reflective interviews with teachers, and focus groups with students. It documents instances of breakthrough and growth for teachers and students and reveals the problems and tensions. Lastly, it reflects on the lessons learned in the course of this project and speculates on the roles that teacher education needs to play if the goal of intercultural capability is to be better achieved in language classrooms, both in New Zealand and internationally. Of interest to a wide range of stakeholders in the area of education, the book allows readers to gain an understanding of the opportunities of working with teachers through an action–research model, alongside the challenges that this brings and ways in which intercultural capability may be strengthened.
