Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this article is to evaluate the applicability of task-based language teaching (TBLT) to state secondary foreign language classes. After discussion of method in general, TBLT is defined and its particularities described. Tasks are assessed as the basis for syllabus and then as the basis for method. In both cases, the proposals are outlined, their rationales summarised and they are evaluated. The evaluations show many potential limitations of TBLT, especially when it comes to the sources of new language and the maintenance of accuracy. Some of the previous discusion, some aspects of language learning and teaching relevant to TBLT are covered in an extensive section on research findings. Given the limitation of TBLT, an alternative perspective is outlined. A crucial factor in methodological decision-making in FL teaching must be proficiency level.
期刊介绍：
The Language Learning Journal (LLJ) provides a forum for scholarly contributions on current aspects of foreign language and teaching. LLJ is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is intended for an international readership, including foreign language teachers, language teacher educators, researchers and policy makers. Contributions, in English, tend to assume a certain range of target languages. These are usually, but not exclusively, the languages of mainland Europe and ‘Community Languages’; other languages, including English as a foreign language, may also be appropriate, where the discussion is sufficiently generalisable. The following are key areas of interest: -Relationships between policy, theory and practice- Pedagogical practices in classrooms and less formal settings Foreign language learning/teaching in all phases, from early learners to higher and adult education- Policy and practice in the UK and other countries- Classroom practice in all its aspects- Classroom-based research- Methodological questions in teaching and research- Multilingualism and multiculturalism- New technologies and foreign languages
