Integrating task-based teaching approach into grammar teaching

It provides learners with opportunities to experiment with and explore both spoken and written language through tasks designed to engage learners in authentic, practical and functional use of language for meaningful purpose.

About the features of task-based language teaching, Nunan (1991, p. 279) gives a summary as follows:

(1) An emphasis on learning to COMMUNICATE THROUGH INTERACTION in the target language;
(2) The INTRODUCTION OF AUTHENTIC TEXTS into the LEARNING SITUATION;
(3) The PROVISION OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNERS TO FOCUS, not only on language, but also on the LEARNING PROCESS itself;
(4) An enhancement of the learners’ own PERSONAL EXPERIENCES as important contributing elements to classroom learning.
(5) An attempt to link classroom language learning with language activation outside the classroom.
