Extract

Chapter 17 focuses on Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), a teaching approach that has strong alignment with empirical findings in second language acquisition research. Bryfonski and Mackey describe TBLT and outline the various phases of implementation needed to adopt it in a new teaching context. The defining characteristics of tasks as well as a practical example of a task that fulfills all four criterion are included so that readers can develop their own tasks.
