• Grading learning according to syllabus is make grading about the material to make easy when we delivering the material to the student.

• Task is the ultimate purpose of language learning is use. The materials should be designed, therefore, to lead towards a communicative task in which learners use the content anfd language

Pedagogically, task-based language teaching has strengthened the following principles and practices:

• • A needs-based approach to content selection.• • An emphasis on learning to communicate through interaction in

the• target language.• • The introduction of authentic texts into the learning situation.• • The provision of opportunities for learners to focus not only on

language but also on the learning process itself.• • An enhancement of the learner’s own personal experiences as

important contributing elements to classroom learning.• • The linking of classroom language learning with language use

outside the classroom.

• The steps • include gathering materials, sanding the

wood, giving it a couple of coats, and letting it dry.

• The goal is to make the fence look nicer, and the task has a tangible

• outcome (that we can see). Language would not necessarily be required for this task.

• Grading input The first thing to consider is the complexity of

the input. Here, grammatical factors will be important. All things being equal, a text made up of simple sentences is likely to be simpler than one consisting of nonfinite verb constructions and subordination.

• Learner factors Pearson and Johnson (1972) distinguish

between what they call ‘inside the head’ factors and ‘outside the head’ factors. ‘Inside the head’ factors are all those that the learner brings to the task of processing and producing language such as background knowledge, interest, motivation and other factors that we look at below. Pearson and Johnson argue that comprehension is a process of building bridges between the known and the unknown.
