Therefore, when we choose TBL, there should be a clear and defined purpose of that choice.
Having chosen TBL as language teaching method, the teacher thereby recognizes that
“teaching does not and cannot determine the way the learner’s language will develop” and
that “teachers and learners cannot simply choose what is to be learned”. “The elements of
the target language do not simply slot into place in a predictable order” (Peter Skehan 19).
This means that we, as teachers, have to let go of the control of the learning process, as if
there ever was one! We must accept that we cannot control what each individual learner
has learnt after for example two language lessons and as Peter Skehan says “instruction has
no effect on language learning
