This document discusses task-based language teaching (TBLT). It defines TBLT as an approach where students learn language through completing meaningful tasks, with the goal of communicating to achieve an outcome. The document contrasts synthetic and analytic syllabi, noting TBLT falls under analytic. It explains the stages of a TBLT lesson as pre-task, task, planning, report, analysis, and practice. Key advantages are that it offers a natural context, explores language needs, and is communicative and motivating for students. An example methodology is given where the teacher provides a topic and guidance for students to work in groups to collect information and present their projects.
