Exploring Task Features to Power Up Oral Production

Sep 26, 2025

5:00 PM (60 minutes)

Join us on Tutela ATESL - Edmonton Chapter Group

This workshop looks at how task features like pre-task and online planning can influence learners’ speaking performance, with a focus on accuracy, fluency, and complexity. Drawing on recent research, it connects theory to real classroom practice and shares strategies that work. Participants will come away with a solid understanding of key TBLT concepts, insights into how task design shapes oral production, and practical ideas for creating and using engaging speaking tasks.
