Why change? Let’s step back from practical questions of technology and pedagogy to address this simple question. I compare presentation-practice-production (PPP) and task-based language teaching (TBLT) approaches, using examples from French iTILT teachers at primary, secondary, and university levels to illustrate differences and show how innovative, reflective, and open practice can save time and add value in language education.
