Summary However exciting new technologies and educational tools may seem, they can become classroom distractions unless their design, use, and evaluation are guided by educational and language developmental principles. Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT) and its theoretical underpinnings (Task-based Language Learning [TBLL]) are the ideal approach for fully realizing the potential of technology to engage learners in a use of language that generates high-quality language learning with a sense of authenticity and relevance inside and outside of the language classroom. This Georgetown Digital Short is a practical guide for teachers in how to translate the theoretical principles of TBLT into daily classroom use and to develop technology-mediated materials for a TBLT curriculum. TBLT easily incorporates technology and Gonzalez-Lloret provides a practical framework for creating TBLL lessons that integrate technology, provides a guide for evaluating existing materials, and guides the assessment of these tasks. The book is designed for use in the classroom as well as independent study and includes reflective questions, activities, and further reading at the end of each chapter. Examples of units in Chinese, Spanish, ESL, and the hospitality industry are provided.
