Abstract

The article discusses ELF-aware pedagogy as a possible way to integrate English as a lingua franca (ELF) in English language classrooms and explores the extent to which task-based language teaching (TBLT) could contribute to this end. ELF-aware pedagogy involves enriching teaching practices with appropriate metalinguistic and reflective activities that help learners develop as competent ELF users. The article makes the case that, when viewed from an ELF-aware perspective, TBLT may provide a coherent methodological framework for creating an authentic communicative environment in the classroom, within which the learners may develop as ELF communicators. To provide an example of how this could be achieved in practice, the author presents an ELF-aware task she has designed and taught in her own classroom. The task integrates metalinguistic and reflective elements and focuses on promoting the learners’ pragmatic competence and sense of themselves as true owners of English.

基于任务的课堂中的ELF意识：前进的道路

摘要

本文讨论了支持ELF的教学法，这是将英语作为通用语言（ELF）集成到英语课堂中的一种可能方式，并探讨了基于任务的语言教学（TBLT）在此方面的贡献程度。理解ELF的教学法包括通过适当的语言学和反思性活动丰富教学实践，以帮助学习者发展为合格的ELF用户。这篇文章提出了这样一个案例，即从意识到ELF的角度来看，TBLT可以提供一个连贯的方法框架，以在教室中创建一个真实的交流环境，学习者可以在其中发展成为ELF交流者。为了提供在实践中如何实现此目标的示例，作者提出了她在自己的教室中设计和教授的ELF感知任务。
