TBLL, also referred to as Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Task Based Instruction (TBI), is a teaching approach which focuses on the use of authentic language rather than teaching specific language items. Students are asked to do meaningful tasks using the target language, such as conducting an interview, making a phone call or buying tickets.

teacher-centred

A lesson or stage of a lesson where learners' attention is focused on the teacher is teacher-centred. If a lesson is teacher-centred, it means that the teacher is the person who is doing most or all of the speaking. As language is learned most effectively by using it; teachers of foreign languages should try to make their lessons as student-centred as possible. There are, however, some points of lessons where it is appropriate for the focus to be on the teacher, such as giving instructions or presenting new language.

Teaching Materials

Resources used in the classroom to facilitate learning, including textbooks, worksheets, and digital content.

Teaching word stress

The practice of helping students recognise which syllables in multi-syllable words are emphasised.

TEFL

Teaching English as a Foreign Language. A certification and teaching methodology for instructing English to non-native speakers in countries where English is not the primary language.
