Guidelines For İdeal Language Learning 2

Doughty and Long (2003) used Task-Based Language Teaching theory to derive ten methodological principles, or language teaching universals, which may guide the design of ideal tasks:

1-Use Task, Not Text, as the Unit of Analysis
2-Promote Learning by Doing
3-Elaborate Input
4-Provide Rich Input
5-Encourage Inductive ("Chunk") Learning
6-Focus on Form
7-Provide Negative Feedback
8-Respect Developmental Processes and "Learner Syllabuses"
9-Promote Co-Operative/Collaborative Learning
10-Individualize Instruction
