Beschreibung
The book illuminates how socio-cultural learning tasks are developed and implemented in EFL classrooms. Their learning potential in terms of students’ foreign grammatical language awareness is evaluated against the backdrop of the PPP teaching and learning approach. SCLTs prove to be a promising concept for future EFL teaching and learning.
