Tasks, Strategies, and Assessment Practices in Language Learning Contexts

Abstract

Literacy floats on the ocean of talk. Intentional tasks are designed to enhance oral production and comprehension truly has positive implications for developing literacy across all the disciplines. This is specifically true when learning a foreign language. This study considers an interactive series designed with different tasks, strategies and assessment practices that might be implemented in the classroom to address the difficult dimensions of speaking.
