Task-Based Learning (TBL) is a teaching approach that focuses on having students complete meaningful activities or tasks to use the target language in a practical way. These tasks simulate real-world scenarios like going to the doctor or buying coffee. The teacher takes a backseat, acting as a moderator while students work through the tasks, using the language as needed without worrying about accuracy. This gives students a purpose for communicating that increases motivation to speak. The goal is to integrate all language skills through tasks that require cooperation and negotiation between students in the target language.

Task-Based Learning Author: Jorge Castillo Teacher: Nahir Aparicio
Introduction As teachers we always complaign about our students do not speak in English in our classroom. They might feel threaten or shy; but the fact is, few of them actually dare. The Task-Based Learning (TBL) helps students to have a meaningful experience with the language and give them context and the result is motivation.
What is TBL? TBL is a teaching approach which focuses on the student by asking to do meaningful activities or task. These task can be daily routines like buying a cup of coffe, collecting a check, going to the doctor, among others.
TBL Characteristics Teaching efficiency is improved when the learners and their learning are the focus of attention instead of the teacher. It is a communicative approach The aim of TBL is to integrate all four skills and to move from fluency to accuracy plus fluency.
Role of the students The entire class focused on them. They need to solve any problem or situation (task) that the teacher gives them. They can use the language any way they want; as long its understandable (accuracy is not that important).
Role of the Teacher Moderator Hisparticipation is pretty slim Teacher will give the task to the students and then watch the use of the language. Create opportunity to involved every single student.
Role of the Teacher Give an introduction to the task. Be sure that the second language is used with no exceptions. Give feedback
Characteristics of the Tasks Itneeds to bring students to work to an objective, such as paying the bill of a restaurant, report to the doctor and so on. Can be made individually or in groups. They should be as authentic to the real world experience as it can.
Disadvantages Withmore than 12 students the class would be pointless Requires great deal of creativity when it comes to think on the tasks. The materials are beyond textbooks. Grammar is not as present as other approaches.
