Abstract

This article provides an account of how presentation-practice-production (PPP) textbook lessons were turned into task-based lessons which were then implemented in three Grade 4 classrooms in primary schools in Vietnam. This account seeks to address a topic of considerable practical value for teachers interested in teaching with tasks, namely, how PPP lessons can be adapted for task-based teaching. The article outlines lesson redesign and key steps in the process. Reflections on the lesson design and implementation provide implications for teachers and teacher educators.
