Task-Based Learning

Task-based learning is an approach where learning revolves around completing meaningful tasks. It focuses on using language as a tool instead of a goal and can bring teaching from abstract knowledge to real-world application. The teacher's role is to decide tasks, provide feedback, and keep students focused, while students work individually or collaboratively to complete tasks and present results.
