Our model was Task-Based Language Teaching. We defined this as a method that focuses on solving communicative problems in real-life situations. Assessments for this model are based on the outcomes of the situation, or the resolution. We determined the ultimate goal or focus of this model is what happens beyond the classroom. The difference between this and experiential learning might be the focus on problem-solving versus re-enactment, and in TBLT, the learning process is directly linked to the curricular goals.
This is the link to our lesson plan as a Google Doc. I've never done this before, so hopefully it works. You know what they say about English teachers and technology...

I like this lesson plan, but there are several areas where I'm unsure of what is going on. For instance, in the worksheet part, are students working individually, in pairs, in groups, or what? Why is the paper folded?
ReplyDeleteIn the Role-Play section, you might make it a two-part role-play, where 2 students act out a role-play with no successful resolution, and then they (or another pair) have to role-play the successful resolution. You might get several possibly successful resolutions that way.
