Abstract

Throughout the recent decades, there has been an increase on the use of technology for language teaching purposes. Thanks to this integration, language classrooms have become livelier than ever. The effects of technology snowballed into many language learning communities around the world. In the context of the present study, the aim is to introduce a class procedure to let learners study grammatical vocabulary, namely morpho-syntactic structures, with the help of bricolage technique in Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT). To achieve this aim, the study takes its strength from TBLT in order to create a sample classroom procedure. In this respect, bricolage technique is introduced with a pedagogy to provide fruitful lesson plans to be equipped with e-walls for the 21st century classes. According to the results of the qualitative and quantitative analyses, using bricolage technique might pave the way for an authentic technique of learning morpho-syntactic items if it is equipped with technological tools and AI conducted with a TBLT lesson procedure.
