desertcart.com: Task-Based Language Education: From Theory to Practice (Cambridge Applied Linguistics): 9780521869270: Branden, Kris van den: Books Review: At last! - As with all methodologies, Task-Based Language Teaching has been promoted by some and criticised by others. In addition, the definitions of 'task' abound, allowing everyone to call themselves proponents of TBLT. TBLT is, however an approach, rather than a methodology, and this book does well to set the parameters from the beginning. It is also an important book, in that it documents a large TBLT programme (1200 students) that took place over 10 years, and was successful. At last, we have details of TBLT working as it was designed to work, providing meaningul, authentic language learning, with quantifiable results. Review: Five Stars - Task-based instruction is effective!

My book arrived earlier than expected. I am going to thoroughly enjoy the articles. TBLT seems to be gaining momentum so we'd better be prepared.
