Questão 96568

Analyze the following statements regarding the theoretical foundations and practical applications of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT).

I. According to Rod Ellis's framework, a crucial distinction is made between 'focused tasks,' which are designed to elicit the use of a specific linguistic feature in a communicative context, and 'unfocused tasks,' which aim for general communicative effectiveness without a predetermined linguistic target.

II. The 'pre-task' phase in Jane Willis's model is primarily designed for the teacher to pre-teach all the vocabulary and grammatical structures that students will need to complete the task, thereby preventing errors during the task cycle.

III. A core psycholinguistic assumption of TBLT is that engaging learners in real-world, meaning-focused communication activates naturalistic acquisition processes similar to those in first language acquisition, making language learning more effective and durable.

IV. The 'task-repetition' component, where students perform the same or a similar task a second time, is pedagogically discouraged as it may lead to boredom and a decrease in cognitive engagement.

Based on your analysis, which statements are correct?
