Task-based teaching focuses on creating engaging activities like discussions, problems, and games that promote the use of authentic language in learning. This approach has garnered significant interest among educators, prompting exploration into effective task design and implementation. The book delves into practical strategies for integrating these tasks into the classroom, aiming to enhance language acquisition and foster a more interactive learning environment.

I write for pleasure and when I feel strongly about something I find it much easier to be articulate writing my feelings down than trying to explain myself vocally. Some of the poems I wrote when my marriage broke down after twenty years are quite dark and depressing, but there is always the golden thread of hope running through which lifts the spirit at the end. It would be nice to think that readers of my work could relate to some of my sentiments, especially the humour in poems like "The Ironing Pile" and "The Driving Test". Those of you who are grandparents could well feel the same as I did when my grandson was born in 1996, he was the inspiration for "For Leo"/ And for all those of you with military connections, please look for "Falkland Malvinas", "To Keep The Peace For You & Me" and "Thanks To Wootton Bassett". Actually having my poetry published at last is a lifetime dream come true for me, and it will make me very happy indeed to have a few readers and for my poems to make them laugh, cry and think.

Focusing on task-based teaching, this resource is crafted by language teachers for their peers, promoting the integration of tasks in lessons. It offers practical insights into designing, adapting, and implementing tasks across diverse teaching environments. Additionally, it encourages exploration of task-based learning as a research avenue. Practicing educators and MA TESOL/Applied Linguistics students will find valuable experiences and inspiration for their own classroom practices and qualitative research endeavors.

Based on the same research which produced the Collins COBUILD English Language Dictionary this three level course taking adult learners from beginner level to pre-First Certificate focuses on everyday English. Each level covers about 100 hours of class work.
