A Review of Task-based Language Teaching

摘要

The construct of task has become so universal as to turn it into one of the best-validated terms in second language acquisition (SLA). Task has become the fulfillment of an evolving disciplinary agreement with an emphasis on meaning. Both teachers and students have been aware of linguistic form in language pedagogy, interaction and in the methodology of task-based language teaching. Task-based teaching is considered as an effective way to draw students' attention to form, function and meaning. These ideas have been categorized below to establish the issues, to describe the definitions of tasks, to illustrate the criteria features of tasks, and to discuss the implementation of task-based language teaching.
