b. Steps of the Unit in TBLT
There are six steps of developing units of work in TBLT as proposed by Nunan 2004:31. Those steps are:
1 Step 1: Schema building The schema building step is to introduce the topic that is going to be
discussed. In this step, the learners are introduced some key vocabulary that will be used in the topic. This step also has a function as the step to build up the
context. For example, learners are given a number of newspaper advertisements. 2 Step 2: Controlled practice
The next step is to practice the language item which emphasizes the form. In this step, learners practice the target language vocabulary, structures and
functions. Example of controlled practice is by giving a brief conversation and ask student to practice the conversation in pair.
3 Step 3: Authentic listening practice The next step is to provide learners with authentic listening practice.
Learners listen to speakers who talk about one topic. The function of this step is to show learners with authentic or simulated conversation.
4 Step 4: Focus on linguistic elements In this step, learners are asked to focus on linguistic elements that occur in
the conversation. Here, learners may practice using the language focus that they have got. The function of this step is to make the learner easier to see the
relationship between communicative meaning and linguistic form.

After having a presentation from the teacher and doing some exercises, in this step the learners are ready to practice their own understanding about the topic.
The learners are asked to make their freer practice. It can be individually, work in pair or work in group.
6 Step 6: Introduce the pedagogical task The last step is the introduction of the pedagogical task. Here, the learners
are given real situation or problem. Learners can have discussion in group and make their own decision.
