• having a shared framework is useful because it can be used in different contexts (countries, schools, etc.)
• it allows teachers and students to focus on useful functions that students would nee to know to communicate effectively

• adjunct: content-based aproach which learners take 2 courses at the same time, one is a content course and the other is ESL
• sheltered: Ss take a class which has both content and language instruction. There is use of simplified language.
• theme-based: a content-based approach in which the content is based around one or more themes ex. food, work, etc

students must communicate (read, write speak, and listen) in the L2 to make meaning and construct knowledge about topics using "authentic" texts

attention to form occurs within the context of performing the task ex. task: interviewing native speakers at school, so Ss learn to ask questions, question intonation, etc.

forms are taught and tasks are used to practice ex. interview each other to practice this question intonation
