The Impact of Using Task-Based Learning as a Pedagogical Tool to Imporve Advanced Writing Skills of Students in College of Basic Education Kuwait

Abstract

This study explored how task-based learning was used in teaching advanced writing at the College of Basic Education in Kuwait. Students were able to submit a research paper based on task-based teaching methods and activities. The task-based learning program supported students in the advanced writing course to achieve the stated goal by incorporating the four language skills into the tasks of the classroom lesson. Moreover, the activities reflected in the task-based teaching method encouraged the students to think about the language they were using in a more holistic manner, synergizing the language skills through focused exercises. Other factors, such as learner motivation, group work, and culture are discussed in the paper.
