Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Didactics - English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 2,3, University of Koblenz-Landau (Anglistik), course: Didactic Perspectives on Linguistics, language: English, abstract: In this paper, it is argued that task-based language teaching is a suitable teaching method for explaining the English grammar of reported speech to foreign learners. Reported Speech is used when a sentence is reconstructed. However, the reported sentence has some differences from the original sentence, for example the tense and the pronouns. Cognitive Grammar aspects, integrated into TBLT, help learners understand the meaning behind the tense backshift and the other differences and allows them to apply this form correctly.
