First identify some of the premises we follow when designing a unit based on tasks. This is what the** CEFR ** says about language learning in Chapter 2: Approach adopted


 * = Language use, embracing language learning, comprises the actions performed by

persons who as individuals and as social agents develop a range of competences,

both general and in particular communicative language competences. They draw

on the competences at their disposal in various contexts under various conditions

and under various constraints to engage in language activities involving language

processes to produce and/or receive texts in relation to themes in speciﬁc domains,

activating those strategies which seem most appropriate for carrying out the tasks

to be accomplished. The monitoring of these actions by the participants leads to the

reinforcement or modiﬁcation of their competences. ||
