VietTESOL International Convention 2022
Nha Trang University, September 16-18
Task-oriented language education is based on the ideation of the many communication approaches available, which is why it is primarily focused on communication. However, many teachers, in the aim of developing communication skills tend to avoid grammar teaching. This study goes much farther, arguing that grammar is as significant as lexis (although in a more abstract way), and that teaching grammar should thus, go along with teaching communication. In our proposals, we first focus on the development and advantages of task-based language teaching with the role of grammar; then, we offer an introduction to cognitive grammar and its applications and outline their potential for the foreign language classroom. In conclusion, a mixture of the two approaches of task-based language teaching and applied cognitive grammar will be illustrated to show how one may benefit from the other and to explain in detail how the grammatical role can be implemented in a task-based action through a communicative situation.
