This is the second in a series of three workshops designed specifically for instructors of less-commonly-taught languages. This workshop offers the opportunity to examine the differences between exercises and tasks, explore the benefits of using tasks in teaching, and adapt textbook exercises to tasks. Participants will walk away with the knowledge needed to design effective tasks that motivate students to learn.
