The problem I see is that all language learning seems to be task-based, so the qualifier 'task-based' is meaningless. It gets used by companies in their advertisements, and governments in their public relations work, but that doesn't imply that it means anything. I've learned multiple foreign languages, and I've yet to come across a language learning method that couldn't be called 'task-based'. Every book uses dialogues, and all dialogues can be described as accomplishing a task (the task of introducing yourself, the task of returning an item to a shop, the task of reporting a theft.). This article talks about a method which isn't 'purely' task-based.

It seems to me that 'tasks' are just a part of language learning, and all language learning methods are to some degree 'task-based'. So, 'task-based language learning' is also 'grammar-based', because it involves grammar, and it's also 'vocabulary-based', because it involves words. Yep, I think this is nothing but a marketing term masquerading as a topic. The amount of descriptive test without references reinforces my thinking. () 10:18, 24 January 2011 (UTC) UPDATE: I guess there's a topic 'tasks (language learning tool)', and some methods are more task-based than others.

No method is 100% or 0% task-based (just as no method is 100% or 0% grammar-based). A method that focusses a lot on tasks could be called 'task-based', but it's just a label.

This article shouldn't be about the label, it should be about the concept, which is 'tasks (language learning tool)'. () 10:51, 24 January 2011 (UTC) I'm sceptical, there is nothing in the article or on this talk page as of Nov 2018 that isn't just part of the 'performance' phase of PPP. I also don't believe this is all teachers do - for example, in reference to the Nike 1-800 example below, I don't see how you learn the words to ask an American about the price of shoes by calling a phoneline and starting to talk to them and I don't believe anyone actually makes their class do that without first showing i.e. 'presenting' the correct form 'How much does X cost?' And then practicing it a with them a bit. Having said that, in some materials I have seen the performance phase is not given enough attention so maybe there is some benefit in focusing on final P, so this is really ppP and if the way to get people to emphasise that is to tell them they are doing TBL then ok but this should be a subsection of the PPP article if there is one () 23:08, 23 November 2018 (UTC). This really is a topic [ ] For language education professionals, like me, this is very much a topic.
