Examples of activities/lessons that teachers currently teach which satisfy criteria T12:-

Otherwise teachers should create opportunities to teach a task-based learning

how can you adapt them so that they do

- Create a crossword puzzle, short story or quiz

- Write an IELTS reading set of 14 questions to a text
- Visit and review a restaurant/cafe/museum/gig/
- Do some research and present about the coolest thing in London
- Students write and perform a role-play of a visit to their GP
- class outing to a local venue
- Present about your hobby
- Find out what people’s pet hates are about living in London
-

Consider your students’ needs and interests – which one have you chosen?
