Unit 17 Practice activities and tasks for language and skills development

We learned in this unit the activities and tasks designed to give learners the opportunity to practice and use the language like new vocabulary, grammatical structures.

In controlled activities students repeated practice in accuracy and form of language, teacher guides students to use the target language by using choral drills or replace key word in given sentences and use new words to create sentences with a different structure. In contrast free activities allow students to use whatever language they want in order to complete a task, these activities focus on fluency practicing on recalling and joining together the language they know with the language given by the teacher.

There are a variety of activities we can use to develop the learner’s skills; they can be controlled or free activities as they practice receptive skills.
