Tasks to the Texts

The collection of tasks to the texts is apparently smaller than the collection of texts presented on the given site. The main reason to this fact is that an Integrated OTSM-TRIZ English Course is based on the Net Technology of teaching which implies that a lot of tasks offered to students are spontaneous and depend on the particular teaching situation. However, it is possible to speak of a general approach to creating a task. Moreover, most of the texts presented here have been put to practice with various categories of students and some tasks appeared to be successful again and again. Nevertheless it is necessary to remember that students differ from place to place and no task should be given to students without a prior consideration. In case you plan to try to use any of these tasks in your teaching, do not hesitate to ask questions.
