Task-Based Language Teaching Introduction of TBLT Task-based language teaching (TBLT) is one of the recent language teaching methods that aims to improve learners’ speaking ability by engaging them in different tasks. (Richards & Rogers, 2001) According to Jeremy Harmer, TBLT was popularized by N. S. Prabhu while working in Bangalore, India. Prabhu noticed that his students could learn language just as easily with a non-linguistic problem as when they were concentrating on linguistic questions.
Task-Based Language Teaching TBLT proposes the notion of “task” as a central unit of planning and teaching. Task is an activity or goal that is carried out using language such as finding a solution to a puzzle , reading a map and giving directions , making a telephone call , writing a letter . Task is an classroom activity where the target language is used by the learner for a communicative purpose in order to achieve an outcome. (Willis, 1996).
