Abstract 

“Current Issues in Task-Based Language Teaching” by Dr. Michael Long
             

This presentation will provide a brief overview of the six stages in the design, implementation, and evaluation of a genuinely task-based language teaching program: needs and means analysis; syllabus design; materials
design; methodology and pedagogy; testing; and evaluation. Problems in TBLT will then be discussed, along with some current research designed to solve them.

Bio data:  Michael Long

Michael H. Long (Ph.D., UCLA, 1980) is a Professor in the Department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, where he teaches courses and seminars in SLA, classroom research, language teaching methodology, L2 research methods, and Task-Based Language Teaching, in the M.A. in ESL, Advanced Graduate Certificate in Second Language Studies, and Ph.D. in SLA Programs. Prior to joining the UH faculty, Mike taught EFL and ESL and trained teachers in England, Spain, Peru, Mexico, Canada, Japan, and the USA. He is the author of over 100 articles and several books, and in 1991 was co-recipient of TESOL's International Research Prize. He serves on the Editorial Boards of Studies in Second Language Acquisition, Language Teaching Research, and Estudios de Linguistica Aplicada, and is co-editor of the Cambridge Applied Linguistics Series. His current research includes work on SLA theory change, negative feedback, sensitive periods, foreign language needs analysis, Task-Based Language Teaching, and a (thus far, 17-year) longitudinal study of stabilization/fossilization in the interlanguage of a Japanese immigrant to Hawai'i. The next eighteen months will see publication of four books: Task-Based Language Teaching (Blackwell), Problems in SLA (Lawrence Erlbaum), Second Language Needs Analysis (Cambridge), and (co-edited with Cathy Doughty) Handbook of Second Language Acquisition
(Blackwell).

　

“Principles for CALL design” by Dr. Catherine Doughty   

Rational choices among the numerous technological options available for foreign language teaching need to be based, in part, on psycholinguistic considerations. Which technological advances help create an optimal psycholinguistic environment for language learning, and which may be innovative but relatively unhelpful? One potential source of guidance is offered by the ten methodological principles of Task-Based Language Teaching (Long, 1985, and elsewhere), each realizable by a variety of pedagogic procedures. Interest in TBLT derives from several sources, including its responsiveness to learners’ precisely specified communicative needs, the potential it offers for developing functional language proficiency without sacrificing grammatical accuracy, and its attempt to harmonize the way languages are taught with what SLA research has revealed about how they are learned.  In this talk, TBLT’s ten methodological principles will be defined and motivated, and we will provide illustrations of how the principles can inform choices among technological options when designing online second language courses.

Catherine Doughty (Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania, 1988) is Associate Professor and member of the graduate faculty in the University of Hawai‘i Department of Second Language Studies.  She teaches courses/seminars and supervises research in the areas of Applied Psycholinguistics, L2 Educational Technology, L2 Teaching Methodology, and Second Language Acquisition in all three graduate programs (M.A. in ESL, Advanced Graduate Certificate in Second Language Studies, and Ph.D. in SLA). She is also the department’s coordinator for Distance Education.  Her own published research concerns effects of L2 instruction, focus on form, computer-assisted language learning, and psycholinguistic processing in SLA.  In 1993, she received the Pimsleur Award for Excellence in Foreign Language Research (ACTFL).  Her most recent publications are two co-edited books:  Focus on Form in Classroom Second Language Acquisition (with Jessica Williams, Cambridge) and the forthcoming Handbook of Second Language Acquisition (with Michael Long, Blackwell).
