• identifying
• selecting
• matching
• sorting
• ranking and sequencing
The more of these task types that can be performed on a set of words the better. In other words, an identification task could be followed by a matching task, which in turn could be followed by a ranking task.
3.1.1 Identifying words
Identifying words simply means finding them where they may otherwise be “hidden”, such as in texts.
Here, for example, are some identification tasks relating to the text Fear of Flying. Give the learners the text and ask them to:
• Count the number of times plane(s) and train(s) occur in the text.
• Find four words connected with, flying in the text.
• Find five phrasal verbs in the text.
• Find eight comparative adjectives in the text.
• Underline all the words ending in -ing in the text.
Ask them to read the text, then turn it over, and then ask:
• “Did the following words occur in the text?”
busy crowded fast dangerous uncomfortable dirty convenient inconvenient noisy
• “Now check the text to see if you were right.”
Identification is also the process learners apply in tasks in which they have to unscramble anagrams (such as utis, snaje, eti — for suit, jeans, tie), or when they have to search for words in a 'word soup', such as the following (also from Language in Use):
1 What are these clothes in English? The answers are all in the word square.
3.1.2 Selecting tasks
Selecting tasks are cognitively more complex than identification tasks, since they involve both recognising words and making choices amongst them. This may take the form of choosing the “odd one out”, as in this task (again, based on the lexical set of clothes).
