If students are having difficulty, relevant features are retaught and additional practice opportunities are provided. “Without this practice and use, the brain will prune this information, which it views as irrelevant. It will do so to make space for the next new learning to occur” (Fisher, Frey, & Lapp, pg.

In TBLT, scaffolding often involves providing information that the learners may need in order to successfully complete the task. During the introduction or pre-task phase of the lesson, the teacher may need to provide the students with additional information beyond the task directions to lead to a successful completion of the lesson. According to Aliakbari and Jamalvandi (2012), this pre-task stage can also consist of small activities that prepare learners for the main task.
