Task-Based Language Education From Theory to Practice
Task-Based Language Education From Theory to Practice by Kris van den Branden, published by Cambridge University Press on October 5, 2006, spans 296 pages and is presented in English. This book explores the concept of task-based language teaching (TBLT), which has garnered interest from various stakeholders in language education, including researchers and teachers. It addresses the gap in existing literature by focusing on the practical application of TBLT in real classroom settings, rather than solely from a psycholinguistic viewpoint.
Readers will find a comprehensive examination of the challenges associated with implementing TBLT, along with strategies for overcoming these obstacles. The book draws on extensive research conducted in Flanders, where TBLT has been integrated into primary, secondary, and adult education for over fifteen years. By combining theoretical principles with practical insights, this edition serves as a valuable resource for those involved in foreign language study and English as a second language.
Official synopsis Publisher
Task-based language teaching (TBLT) has been attracting the attention of researchers, curriculum developers, teacher trainers and language teachers for many years. However, much of the available literature and research has been from a psycholinguistic perspective, driven by the desire to understand how people acquire a second language. Far less research has been carried out as to whether TBLT works for real teachers and real learners in a classroom environment. This book aims to offer a unique contribution by uniting a discussion of task-based pedagogical principles with descriptions of their application to real life language education problems. It provides an account of the many challenges and obstacles that the implementation of TBLT raises and discusses the different options for overcoming them. The book contains a substantial body of research from Flanders, where the implementation of TBLT has been a nationwide project for fifteen years in primary, secondary and adult education.
