"The website includes clusters of task-based lessons and examples of tasks that fit within each of Willis’ (1996) six types of tasks. The LCD Group is also dedicated to promoting intercultural communicative competence (see Foundations section) in the second language classroom and has included a section of activity ideas and lesson plans to demonstrate how intercultural themes can be embedded in and complement second language instruction."

Courtesy of Comox Valley Schools (SD71) in B.C., an archived site with a series of excellent kits for middle-grade Core French units that carefully structure and encourage oral communication:

Ma vie... c'est moi! (My Life... It's Me!)
La nourriture (Food)
Les vêtements (Clothing)
Les activités (Activities)

The units target participation, starting with whole-class activities and moving through rotating stations, each with visual support and follow-up activities.
