TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING: HOW IT IS IMPLEMENTED EFFECTIVELY?

Abstract

Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) has emerged as a dynamic and learner-centered approach, emphasizing the acquisition of language skills through meaningful, real-life tasks. This abstract explores the effective implementation of TBLT, focusing on key principles and strategies to optimize language learning outcomes. The selection of relevant tasks, pre-task activities, and task cycles form the foundation, promoting both fluency and accuracy in language use. Authenticity in materials and contexts, along with collaborative group dynamics, enhances learner motivation and engagement. The integration of language focus activities, selective error correction, and constructive feedback contribute to a balanced language development approach. The adaptability of tasks and flexibility in the teaching process are crucial elements, allowing teachers to tailor lessons to the evolving needs of learners. Cultural sensitivity, reflective practices, and innovative assessment methods further enrich the TBLT experience. This abstract advocates for a learner-centric paradigm that empowers students to actively participate in their language learning journey, fostering a holistic and effective approach to language education.
