"Task-based learning (TBL) is rapidly gaining popularity, but what actually happens when we use communication tasks in real language classrooms? In this collection, teachers of English as a second or foreign language describe how they implemented TBL with learners of various ages and in a range of contexts. They explore the interaction and language stimulated by tasks, and investigate the effect of variables such as task type, planning time and repetition."--BOOK JACKET.
