This document presents information on task-based language learning and teaching. It was submitted by Drashti V. Dave for a course on English Language Teaching. The document defines a task as an activity where the target language is used for a communicative purpose. It explains that task-based language learning focuses on meaningful tasks using the target language to develop fluency over accuracy. It also outlines the components and stages of a task-based lesson, and discusses the advantages such as varied language exposure and the motivational nature of task-based learning. Finally, it notes some potential barriers to task-based teaching like students relying on their first language.

- 2. What is task ? “A task is an activity where the Target language is used by the learners for a communicative purpose in order to achieve an outcome” - By Jane Willis
- 3. What is Task based Language learning: • Task-based language learning (TBLL), also known as task-based language teaching (TBLT) or task-based instruction (TBI) focuses on the use of authentic language and on asking students to do meaningful tasks using the target language. Such tasks can include visiting a doctor, conducting an interview, or calling customer service for help. Assessment is primarily based on task outcome (in other words the appropriate completion of real world tasks) rather than on accuracy of prescribed language forms. This makes TBLL especially popular for developing target language fluency and student confidence. As such TBLL can be considered a branch of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). • But there is minor difference between TBLL and TBLT.
- 4. Task Based Language Learning: TBLL The components of a Task are: Goals and objectives Input Activities Teacher’s role Learner’s role Settings
- 5. Task -based learning offers an alternative for language teachers. In a task-based lesson the teacher doesn't pre-determine what language will be studied, the lesson is based around the completion of a central task and the language studied is determined by what happens as the students complete it. The lesson follows certain stages. Task Practice Analysis Feedback Planning
- 6. The advantages of TBLL The students will have a much more varied exposure to language with TBLL. They will be exposed to a whole range of lexical phrases, collocations and patterns as well as language forms. It is a strong communicative approach where students spend a lot of time communicating. It is enjoyable and motivating. It involves not of a sequence of language items, but sequence of communicative task. Buy your own device: work on your own way.
- 7. Barriers of TBL & TBLT: • Not all students are or will be motivated by TBLT • Students are used L1 rather than the target language. • Personal dimensions. • Lack of confidence, interest or vocabulary.
- 8. Task-based Language Teaching & Learning: TBLT- is an . approach to teach the target language with the tasks related with the real world. Group or pair work is important communicative
