What is Task-based learning? TBL (Task-based learning), or TBLT (Task-based language teaching) is an approach in which learning revolves around the achievement of meaningful tasks. In the TBL approach, the main focus is the authentic use of language for genuine communication.
Phases of a TBL lesson Pre-task The pre-task phase of a TBL lesson is the moment when the teacher sets the task, contextualizes the topic of the lesson, raises students interest and prepares learners to perform the task. When preparing students to perform a task, teachers might need to help students with both content and language.
Task In this stage of the TBL lesson, learners perform the task proposed. They are supposed to perform the task in small groups or pairs, and use their existing knowledge of language to express themselves in a spontaneous way. As the focus is communication, the teacher is not supposed to carry out extensive error correction at this stage, but should monitor and provide support.
Post-task The post-task stage is when students evaluate their performance. This might be done by comparing the outcome of their task to that of a proficient user of the language. It can also involve feedback provided by the teacher and subsequent practice of language items that emerged from the task.
Characteristic of TBL Lesson Communicative goal. Use of the target language. Input and modelling. Integrated skills (writing-speaking- listening-reading) Meaningful and vivid task.
The 5ES to develop TBL * Engage: we use a game, video or some questions to introduce the topic. (warm-up) *Explore: we use images, reading, writing or listening activities to check previous knowledge related to the topic.
*Explain: we explain vocabulary and grammar to carry out the task. *Elaborate: learners develop the task according to the criteria provided by teachers in order to get the goal. * Evaluate: learners present the task and teacher gives feedback.
