Analysis
The principles we used:

1. We have used goals that have a clear outcome.
2. Our role as a teacher was to create the tasks and to monitor the students during their tasks.
3. We have introduced language in our pre-task and we have chosen information that is relevant and meaningful for the students.
4. We as teachers have provided input during the pre-task and have set up the task and students work together to make an end product possible.
5. Students are motivated by doing tasks that prepare them for the real world.
6. Language is used for communicating and for things like writing and reading.
7. Mostly the dimension of language is emphasized, but any of the four skills can be utilized.
8. There is no explicit use of the students' native language.
9. The students constantly get evaluated with task outcomes and language use.
10. We have corrected student errors by focussing on grammar explanations or recasts and modelling.

 What do you think the biggest advantage/disadvantages are when it comes to TBL?
 Which Techniques would you use on a regular basis?
 TBL does not focus enough on grammar and vocabulary.
