From Grammar-Focused to Task-Focused Instruction
The communicative task is a piece of classroom work which involves learners in comprehending, manipulating, producing or interacting in the target language while their attention is principally focused on meaning rather than form.
Discussion-based materials, communication games, simulations, role plays, and other group or pair work activities.

Grammar Focused Activities
  • Reflect classroom use of language.
  • Focus on the formation of correct examples of language.
  • Produce language for display.
  • Call on explecit knowledge.
  • speech style
  • reflect controlled performane 
  • practise small samples of language
  • do not require authentic communication
 Task Focused Activities
  • Refelct natural language use 
  • call on implicit knowledge
  • elicit a vernacular speech style
  • reflect automatic performance
  • require the use of improvising, paraphrasing, repair and reorganisation
  • produce language that is not predictable
  • allow stuents to select the language they use
  • require real communication
Task work is not intended to promote deelopment of a nonstandard form of English but is seen as part of the process by which linguistic and communicative competence is developed.

It's important that we don't have to list specific linguistic items.
An activity that is useful in this, is a role play because students start to feel comfortable producing a foregein language, and the feel self-confidence because they are producin the language and they also improve their fluently use and they improve and do not memorize
