In this unit I learned that are tasks created to give students
possibilities to practice and extend their use of language, such as new lexis, functional exponents or grammatical structures, or of the subskills of reading, listening,
speaking or writing. Moreover, I learned that there are controlled activities
that help students practice in accuracy
and the form of language; hence,
they will avoid making few mistakes. There are also free activities; these
allow learners to utilize whatever language they want to complete a task. However,
controlled activities give students plenty of guidance and support in using language
accurately. In order to develop reading and listening skills, which are receptive
skills. Now, knowing about the content
of the unit, I would apply activities that help students to enhance their
English skills. For example, an activity for reading for details is to make
students order pictures from a story that have been jumbled.
