Task Based Learning

Project Overview

I redesigned a Practical English course around a task-based learning (TBL) model to develop workplace-ready communication and digital literacy through sustained, real-world projects.

Approach

Students worked in teams to build a mock company and complete authentic tasks that drove language use and collaboration:

Create a company/event/institution and define its personnel and vision
Develop a product/service and produce an advertisement (Adobe Spark)
Build a company website to host content (Google Sites)
Share website pages in a class community and provide peer feedback (Google+)
Troubleshoot a product issue with classmates and resolve it via email/phone
Design a job posting (Canva), advertise it on the site, apply, and interview
