The Task-based Approach in Language Teaching
The Task-based Approach in Language Teaching AQUILINO SANCHEZ* University of Murcia The Task-based Approach (TBA) has gained popularity in the field of Language Teaching since the last decade of the 20fh Century and significant scholars have joined the discussion and increased the amount of analytical studies on the issue. Nevertheless experimental research is poor, and the tendency of some of the scholars is nowadays shifting towards a more tempered and moderate stand on their claims. Reasons for that are various: the difficulty in the implementation of the method in the classroom, the difficulty in elaborating materials following the TBA and the scarcity of Task-based manuals count as important and perhaps decisive arguments.
The Task-based Approach in Language Teaching 41 is the goal in the first section of this paper. A detailed discussion will follow on what a task is and on the various definitions proposed. This will lay the ground for a 'balanced criticism' of the TBA and will allow the reader to draw some positive and realistic conclusions on the issue.
