To assess your current awareness of the principles underlying learning tasks
Task: Look at the following quote from a teacher:
‘Pre-teaching vocabulary is a waste of time’.
List up to five reasons supporting this statement and five reasons contradicting it.
For example:
Learners won’t have a teacher to pre-teach vocab when they’re reading texts out of

We want students to focus on reading skills, not vocabulary, when engaging with a
text.
