Task-based Teaching (TBT) – and Task-based Learning (TBL) – is the approach that TESOL Advantage advocates as best
practice when it comes to English language teaching. While TBT’s basic principles are derived from CLT (Communicative
Language Teaching), there are some important differences. Critics of CLT have raised the following concerns:
1.Teachers can struggle with the non-specific requirements of CLT.
2.Teachers are often worried about giving up too much control during a CLT exercise.
3.Many learners have low intrinsic motivation to communicate in a foreign language and so struggle with CLT student-centric exercises.
4.Because CLT is a meaning-focused approach, learners may struggle with grammar issues.
TBT addresses all of these concerns. It gives teachers a specific requirement to focus on – getting the students to complete
a task. Teachers worried about their classes becoming chaotic because of a lack of structure in the lesson now have clear steps
that create guidelines and boundaries – a pre-task, task and post-task. Students become more empowered and motivated when
they complete tasks because they ‘own’ the language and control the task response. While TBT definitely has a greater focus
on meaning than form, teachers can add an optional language focus at the end of a task to cover any grammatical issues that
the task highlighted.
