USING TASK-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE FOR THE 1-4 FORMS

Abstract

tasks in everyday life are to be found everywhere. Tasks surround us from early in the morning till late at night. Washing our face is a task, as is preparing breakfast, going to work by car. Preparing a lesson, buying the newspaper, etc. Tasks pervade our lives, so much so that there is hardly an activity that cannot be called a task. When applied linguists and methodologists began using that word, they obviously relied in one way or another on the basic meaning it had in usual, plain speech. It is obvious that applied linguists were taking advantage of the semantic field covered by 'task', but at the same time they consciously or not- used the word restricting and adapting its meaning to concepts common to the field of language teaching learning.
