The document discusses integrating Task-Based Language Learning (TBLL) and iPads for IELTS academic writing. It presents two workflows for teaching IELTS writing skills through multi-step projects incorporating tasks. The first workflow involves designing and administering a survey, analyzing results, and presenting findings for IELTS Writing Task 1. The second explores both sides of an issue by researching a debate topic, creating a video argument, and writing a position essay for Task 2. The document notes potential positives like skill integration, engagement, and iPad affordances, as well as preparation challenges. It asks teachers to consider if the projects would work and discuss possible benefits and difficulties.
