Task-Based Language. Teaching in Action: Principles, Research Insights, and Horizons

Abstract

This book offers an in-depth exploration of the use of commu- nicative tasks in language classrooms, drawing on the principles of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT). While grounded in TBLT, the primary focus of the book is on the implementation of tasks in classrooms, rather than on a comprehensive theoretical account of the communicative approach. It examines the use of tasks as pedagogical tools from cognitive, interactional, and in- structional perspectives, understanding the realities of language teaching and learning contexts.
