Learners encounter new language in a natural, content-focused way and tasks help guide them towards an initial understanding of how it works and how it is used. DIG - In this section, learners have the opportunity to test their understanding of the new language, uncover the rules and find out how the language is used DO - The final part of the cycle allows learners to start to put into practice the language they discovered and learned about in the previous sections.
