In this chapter we studied practice activities and
tasks for language and skills development. These activities give learners
opportunities to practice and extend their use of language. Functional exponents or grammatical structures are examples of
them. Controlled activities can give
students the opportunity to practice accuracy.
Other examples of controlled activities are drills in its different ways, individual drills, substitution drills, transformation
drills. On the other hand free activities allow students to use whatever
language they wish in order to complete the activity. Between controlled
activities and free activities are freer activities in which the teacher can predict to some extent what language
the student need to use. To sum up we can say that with controlled activities, our students have a lot of guidance and
support, in using the language accurately, freer
activities give a little less of guidance and support, and finally free activities do not give students
guidance.

As a conclusion, I can say that we have many options
and activities to help and support us in order to teach easily but taking into
account all the positive aspects that teaching
involves.
Many activities like role-plays, to develop the speaking skills in students or, information gap-activities to develop
reading and writing skills are great examples. In the future I will use as much
as possible these activities in my class because I consider that they are keys
in the learning process, and also support and guide the teacher, providing
extra tools to reinforce the learning process.
