Role-plays (e.g., ordering at a restaurant)
Creating a brochure or video
Problem-solving tasks
Interviews/surveys
7. Advantages
Improves communication
High student engagement
Real-world application

✍️ REFLECTION: Advantages & Disadvantages of Task-Based Strategies
Task-Based Teaching (TBT) emphasizes using language as a tool to complete meaningful tasks. This reflective method fosters fluency, learner autonomy, and real-world application of language skills. However, it also has potential drawbacks when poorly implemented or unsupported by adequate scaffolding.
✅ Advantages
Improves Communicative Competence
Learners practice using language in practical situations. For instance, role-plays and problem-solving mimic real-life contexts, enhancing their fluency and confidence (Ellis, 2003).
Increases Motivation
Because tasks are relevant and engaging, students often feel more motivated and active. They take responsibility for their learning rather than passively receiving knowledge (Nunan, 2004).
Encourages Collaboration
TBT promotes group work and negotiation of meaning, which strengthens social and interactive skills vital for second language development.
Authenticity
Tasks are closer to what learners will use outside the classroom, making the learning process more meaningful (Willis, 1996).
⚠️ Disadvantages
Limited Focus on Accuracy
The initial emphasis on fluency might lead to fossilization of errors if not followed by proper corrective feedback (Richards & Rodgers, 2001).
Challenging for Low-Proficiency Students
Beginners may struggle with open-ended tasks, especially when lacking vocabulary or grammar support.
High Preparation Demand for Teachers
Designing effective tasks that align with language objectives requires time, skill, and creativity.
Assessment Difficulties
Evaluating success based on task completion can overlook form and grammar, making objective grading more complex.
