Competencies
-
Successful completion of each specific
task involves a set of skills and knowledge which must be accurately applied.
In CBLT, a competency can be understood as the final task specified at the end of a learning module.
For example, the Ministry of Education in Mexico identifies several competencies including “write notes to describe the components of different human body systems in a chart” , “understand and write instructions to face an environmental emergency”, and “express oral complaints about a health service”.

Role of the Teacher
-
Teachers provide the materials, the
activities, and the practice opportunities to their students.
-
Teachers will have to devote large amounts of time to creating activities related to the specific skills necessary to fulfill the competency requirements. Significant time will also be required to assess students and provide specific, directed, and personalized feedback.
Role of the Student
Students will no longer be able to rely only on the teacher and the classroom to be the primary sources of information. Instead, students become apprentices. Their role will be to integrate, produce, and extend knowledge.
Students take an active part in their own learning and work toward being autonomous learners. They learn to think critically and to adapt and transfer knowledge across a variety of settings.
Students need to find ways to motivate themselves and find ways to apply information to their own lives and to integrate it into the classroom. Students must be willing to challenge, to question, and to initiate in the CBLT classroom.
Activities, Materials, and Syllabus
-
-
The activities in the CBLT classroom must be oriented toward the ability to successfully complete a real-world task.
The materials help provide students with the essential skills, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors required to meet the competency standards.
