The activities that students carry out as part of their work as students.

v  APPROACH OF TBI

ü  Such introduction is thought to facilitate language work to understand each other and express their own meaning.

v  Principles of  TBI

ü  The class activities have a perceived purpose and a clear outcome.

ü  A pre-task, in which students work through a similar task to one that they will later do individually, is a helpful way to have student see the logic involved in what they are being asked to do.

ü  The teacher breaks down into smaller step the logical thinking process necessary to complete the task.

ü  The teacher needs to seek ways of knowing how involved the students are in the process.

ü  The teacher does not consciously simplify her language is necessary to have students comprehend the current step in the pre-task.

v  Observations

ü  The teacher tells the class that they are going to complete a time table.

ü  The teacher begins by having the class help her begin to fill out the class schedule.

ü  The teacher first has the student label the time periods and then days.

ü  The teacher asks if a particular answer is right.

ü   The teacher asks, what  about Saturday ? Do we have school on Saturday ?
