Thanks a lot for these nice comments. I appreciate it so much :-).

Some of these bring me back to the main principles of this method, for example while-task activities and post-task activities (I have covered them in my notes about this method – I consider pre-task as the most important for me – that´s why I put it in my keywords). But thanks a lot for reminding me.

I like the point of Natka – using authentic text and that the learners focus not only on language but on the learning process itself.  I haven´t think about it as Natka did.

Thanks Maruška for your opinion of the disadvantages of this method – I can see a different view on it, but I believe that this method might be used even with beginners, when it is well done. About errors – I have my own experiences with stressful situations while speaking so I love the way of thinking that the error is part of the learning process. Confidence while speaking and real communication is much more important for me, than being precise in grammar and speak without any errors.

Thanks, Verča for comment on my keywords as well, I see cooperation and focus on the meaning as important principles. With active participation I mean the participation of students – that is also connected that this method is learner-centred. I think that the participation of students in correcting mistakes is welcomed. As I already wrote, it is all right to make some mistakes during the learning process – one of the principles, which I like about this method.

Thanks, Martin, I agree on your latest point, that it can have an impact on form, but there is a huge but, as you already wrote. I truly believe that a good teacher is able to mediate both.
