Question: where does the input come from in an approach like task-based learning, or Dogme, where there is no syllabus of forms as such, and in which any focus on form is incidental?
This is the gist of the question sent to me a short while back by Anthony Elloway:
My concern about Dogme ... is this - is the input rich enough?...
Great post by Scott Thornbury. In my experience, the key is to find the right balance (based on the learning style and needs of the each group or learner) between 'proactive' and 'reactive' language focus. Now check out Scott's post!
