Task-Based Language Learning Through Debate

Sunday, February 11th, 2007, 2:15 PM - 4:20 PM

Speaker: Eiko Nakamura, Kawasaki University of Medical Welfare

Learners' language development through debate tasks observed in a high school English classroom is closely examined. The chaotic period, in which learners push themselves to paraphrase and improvise their speech taking a risk of increasing language deficiency, was seen during a debate task. This presentation explores crucial factors to push learners to make maximum use of their target language.
