Targeted Teaching: Strategies for secondary teaching
by Tremaine Baker Gareth Evers Richard BrockThere is no single best approach in teaching. This new text challenges the idea that there is a 'best way' to teach. Instead, the authors explain, a more pragmatic approach is required. Teachers need a range of skills and strategies to select from, work with and adapt. Every school, cohort, class and child is different. Beyond that, strategies that worked well with a class one week, may prove ineffective the next. This book: presents a range of strategies, well grounded in research, for trainees and beginning teachers to use in their own classroom settings and contexts presents a model of teaching that views teaching not as a profession in which there is always a single correct answer, but as a complex interaction between teacher and students addresses common issues that beginning teachers face when developing their practice If you are a teacher wanting to find out what works best for your class, in your school, right now, this text will show you how to harness the power of small or large scale research to help you find the answer.

Task Analysis Methods for Instructional Design
by David H. Jonassen Martin Tessmer Wallace H. HannumTask Analysis Methods for Instructional Design is a handbook of task analysis and knowledge elicitation methods that can be used for designing direct instruction, performance support, and learner-centered learning environments. To design any kind of instruction, it is necessary to articulate a model of how learners should think and perform. This book provides descriptions and examples of five different kinds of task analysis methods: *job/behavioral analysis; *learning analysis; *cognitive task analysis; *activity-based analysis methods; and *subject matter analysis. Chapters follow a standard format making them useful for reference, instruction, or performance support.
Task Design In Mathematics Education
by Anne Watson Minoru OhtaniThis book is the product of ICMI Study 22 Task Design in Mathematics Education. The study offers a state-of-the-art summary of relevant research and goes beyond that to develop new insights and new areas of knowledge and study about task design. The authors represent a wide range of countries and cultures and are leading researchers, teachers and designers. In particular, the authors develop explicit understandings of the opportunities and difficulties involved in designing and implementing tasks and of the interfaces between the teaching, researching and designing roles - recognising that these might be undertaken by the same person or by completely separate teams. Tasks generate the activity through which learners meet mathematical concepts, ideas, strategies and learn to use and develop mathematical thinking and modes of enquiry. Teaching includes the selection, modification, design, sequencing, installation, observation and evaluation of tasks. The book illustrates how task design is core to effective teaching, whether the task is a complex, extended, investigation or a small part of a lesson; whether it is part of a curriculum system, such as a textbook, or promotes free standing activity; whether the task comes from published source or is devised by the teacher or the student.

Task Engagement Across Disciplines: Research and Practical Strategies to Increase Student Achievement
by Joy Egbert Priya Panday-ShuklaUsing an evidence-based model developed by Egbert and colleagues, editors Joy Egbert and Priya Panday-Shukla provide a comprehensive overview of task engagement for teachers and researchers. Research has positioned task engagement as central to student learning, and Egbert and Panday-Shukla now collate this research into a resource that teachers can utilize. The chapters address how task engagement theory, evidence, and instruction can be applied to increase learner achievement. The editors and contributors draw from backgrounds across science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) education and other disciplines to present task engagement and connect its importance to the success of today’s students. Chapters include background information, resources, exercises, and ideas for teachers and researchers to extend the research behind individual elements of the task engagement model into practice. Each chapter focuses on one component of the model and includes guiding questions and key points, a “how-to” section, and recommended tasks for K-adult classroom use. Though ideal for teacher education research scholars, students, and faculty, this book is useful for instructors at all levels interested in integrating task engagement principles into their practice.

Task-Based Listening (Kindle Single): What Every ESL Teacher Needs to Know
by Steven Brown“I have tried to balance classroom advice with the reasons for the advice, grounded in research evidence.

Task-based Language Teaching and Beyond: L2 Pragmatics Instruction for Young Learners (Second Language Learning and Teaching)
by Tomasz RógThis book provides a groundbreaking exploration of how task-based language teaching (TBLT) can effectively develop second language (L2) pragmatic competence in young learners. Bridging the gap between TBLT and L2 pragmatics, this volume addresses critical issues in language education, offering insights into teaching key speech acts. Specifically, it compares the outcomes of TBLT with the traditional PPP framework in teaching L2 speech acts to Polish learners of L2 English aged 8 to 9. Chapter 1 deals with pragmatics and pragmatic competence, highlighting its importance in effective communication and language use in social contexts. It addresses L2 pragmatics, the development of L2 pragmatic competence, and the challenges in teaching and assessing this competence. Chapter 2 overviews TBLT, its theoretical foundations, practical implementation, and related empirical research. It discusses the cognitive-interactionist and sociocultural perspectives on L2 acquisition and the effectiveness of tasks. Chapter 3 reviews empirical research on using tasks in teaching L2 pragmatics, especially to young learners. Chapter 4 details the research methodology used in the study, including the context, participants, target speech acts, data elicitation instruments, and analysis procedures. Chapter 5 presents the results of the study. Chapter 6 discusses the findings, their pedagogical implications, and the limitations of the study. Chapter 7 offers conclusions. Rich with pedagogical implications, the volume is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners interested in task-based and task-supported teaching, L2 pragmatics, and innovative approaches to teaching young learners.
