What is Task-Based Language Teaching?

Task-based language teaching


is an alternative approach to
communicate language
teaching because a task
involves a primary focus on
meaning, real world processes
of language use and any of the
four language skills.
Defining "Task"
• A piece of classroom work that involve learners in
comprehending, manipulating, producing, or
interacting in target language while attention is
focus on meaning rather than form. (Nunan, 2004)
Communicative 
Approach

• The Communicative Approach, also


known as communicative language
teaching (CLT), emphasizes
interaction and problem solving as
both the means and the ultimate
goal of learning English - or
any language. As such, it tends to
emphasize activities such as role
play, pair work and group work.
Five Key Elements to Communicative
Approach

• An emphasis on learning to communicate through interaction


in the target language.
• The introduction of authentic text into the learning situation.
• The provision of opportunities for learners to focus, not only
on the language but also on the learning process itself.
• An enhancement of the learner's own personal experiences as
important contributing elements to classroom learning.
• An attempt to link classroom language learning with language
activation outside the classroom.
