Teachers using a task-based language teaching (TBLT) approach are always searching for learning tasks that have the potential to prepare learners for the real world. In this article, we describe how an authentic academic assignment for graduate students in a teaching English as a second language (TESL) course was transformed into a task-based lesson for undergraduate English for academic purposes (EAP) students. We provide a brief review of TBLT and how it fits in with the goals of EAP programming. We then describe the original academic task, followed by a detailed overview of the EAP lesson and reflections on its implementation. Les enseignants qui utilisent une approche actionnelle (TBLT – task-based language teaching) sont constamment à la recherche de tâches d’apprentissage susceptibles de préparer leurs étudiants pour le vrai monde. Dans cet article, nous décrivons la transformation d’un travail académique authentique pour étudiants aux cycles supérieurs qui suivent un cours d’enseignement de l’ALS en une leçon actionnelle pour des étudiants d’anglais académique au premier cycle. Nous offrons un aperçu de l’approche actionnelle et de la mesure dans laquelle elle cadre avec les objectifs des programmes d’anglais académique. Par la suite, nous décrivons la tâche académique originale pour ensuite présenter une des- cription détaillée de la leçon d’anglais académique ainsi que des ré exions sur sa mise en œuvre.

Memory Game

Our task in this work is an attempt to understand some of therelations that are established between tongue, discourse and memory, basedon what the discourse theory proposes,. We will provide, for this purpose,a brief theoretical explanation, working with the construction and functioningof these concepts, in order to specify their contour and reflect abouttheir inter-relation. Passing through the real language, treating it as amateriality that feeds the discursive process, we will seek for the discourse,place for the production of senses and memory game. To conclude wepropose a brief reflection about the effects of the assumption of the conceptsof the discourse analysis to the work of the second language teaching.
