Definition and examples

The pre-task stage deals with linguistic instances and concepts in the context of the real world task

~ Instances are words - or lexis - for a particular topic
~ Concepts are linguistic structures like subject, object, modifier, collocation, phrasal verb etc

Existing knowledge and gaps are identified by the trainer through questioning:

~ What word is used to express y?
~ Do you know what some modifiers of ‘used’ are:

commonly used; widely used; is often used;  frequently used; used only
is sometimes used; also used; used instead of; used primarily; still used
used extensively in;  typically used; mainly used; was first used
