        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.

          Dulzura

by Sandra Cisneros.

Make love to me in Spanish.

Not with that other tongue.

I want you juntito a mi,

tender like the language

crooned to babies.

I want to be that

lullabied, mi bien

querido, that loved.

I want you inside

the mouth of my heart,

inside the harp of my wrists,

the sweet meat of the mango,

in the gold that dangles

from my ears and neck.

Say my name. Say it.

The way it’s supposed to be said.

I want to know that I knew you

even before I knew you.

           The modern world’s characteristics have, for sure, important implications for the educational process as a whole, and, particularly, to the teaching/learning of languages. Answers to these macro-trends are vital in preparing youngsters to cater to the demands of a new world. With regards to teaching/learning languages, in order to be an active participant, it is essential that one communicate not only in the mother tongue but also in foreign language. The development of communicative abilities, in more than one language, is fundamental to access the society of information, moreover, it’s crucial for equitable academic access, and in the business and technological fields. It is, therefore, imperative that the teaching of foreign language be understood, and implemented, as the one offering tools vital for laboring.
