ELT365 · Day 179 — The Follow-Up Task

📚60-Day ELT Masterclass — This post is part of an ongoing series. View full index →

Idea — A follow-up task bridges from receptive to productive — learners respond to what they read or heard, not just answer questions about it.

Example — After reading about a job interview, learners roleplay their own — content from the text, production from themselves.

Try — Take a reading or listening text you use. Write one follow-up speaking task and one follow-up writing task from the same source.
