Abstract:

Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is now a well-established approach
to teaching foreign languages which draws on theories of second
language acquisition and on general educational principles. However,
there remain a number of issues that need to be considered in
designing and implementing TBLT in classroom settings. This book,
written by a leading theorist in the field, bridges this gap by
addressing the key issues which are important for its development.
These issues include the difference between task-based and
task-supported language teaching, the role of input tasks, how tasks
engage learners, task complexity, catering for individual differences
in learners and teacher-preparation for TBLT. Overall, the book
provides a comprehensive account of TBLT and makes a significant
contribution to the growing literature in the field.
