ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF TASK-BASED LANGUAGE LEARNING APPROACH

Abstract

Task-Based Language Learning (TBLL) has become an influential and widely respected approach in modern language education. This approach shifts the emphasis from direct instruction of grammar and vocabulary to meaningful use of language through tasks. By doing this, TBLL aligns language instruction with authentic communication needs, aiming to prepare learners for real-life situations where language serves as a tool for achieving particular outcomes. Task-Based Language Learning has been extensively discussed in educational literature, and its principles are adopted in both formal and informal learning environments. Throughout its development, it has generated enthusiasm as well as critiques among educators and scholars.
