| Summary: | The latest educational trends have put emphasis on a communicative approach to FL teaching and learning, focusing on meaning,
functionality, and the integration of skills (Richards and Rodgers 2015)
Therefore, it is necessary that FL teachers become acquainted with
methodologies which follow an integrated-skills approach such as TBLT
This article analyses pre-service teachers’ uptakes on TBLT and the use
of rap battles in FL teaching in primary education through an exploratory
analysis After having taken a one-week course on TBLT in a TEFL module,
a questionnaire was given to participants Results show that pre-service
teachers understand the importance of integrating all language skills in
FL lessons for primary school students as well as the 4 Cs on learning and
innovation skills (Partnership for 21st-Century Learning 2011) Furthermore,
they report that rap battles are motivating and creative resources which could
be exploited in FL lessons, although they also point out some challenges. |
