This book provides an accessible, evidence-based account of how
teacher noticing, the process of attending to, interpreting and
acting on events which occur during engagement with learners, can
be examined in contexts of language teacher education and
highlights the importance of reflective practice for professional
development. Central to the work is an innovative mixed-methods
study of task-based interaction which was undertaken with
pre-service English language teachers in Japan. Through close
analyses of task interaction coupled with recall data, it
illustrates the ways in which pre-service teachers noticed their
student partners' use of embodied and linguistic resources. This
focus on what teachers attend to, how they interpret it, and their
subsequent decisions has multiple implications for language
learning and teacher development. It demonstrates the value of
teacher noticing for developing rapport, supporting pupils'
language acquisition, enhancing participation, fostering reflection
and guiding observation, a central feature of language teachers'
career advancement.

This Element is a guide to task-based language teaching (TBLT), for
language instructors, teacher educators, and other interested
parties. The work first provides clear definitions and principles
related to communication task design. It then explains how tasks
can inform all stages of curriculum development. Diverse, localized
cases demonstrate the scope of task-based approaches. Recent
research illustrates the impact of task design (complexity, mode)
and task implementation (preparation, interaction, repetition) on
various second language outcomes. The Element also describes
particular challenges and opportunities for teachers using tasks.
The epilogue considers the potential of TBLT to transform
classrooms, institutions, and society.
