2.1 TBA Description

2.1.1 Definitions of TBA
TBA is not only a concrete teaching approach, but also a teachingideology. One must master the meaning of the tasks, if she wants to reallyunderstand TBA,.A lot of definitions of “task” exist in the literature in which there is adifference between real-world tasks and pedagogical tasks. Real-worldtasks refer to use of language in the real world beyond the classroom;pedagogical tasks are those that happen only in the classroom. Tasks aredescribed as follows:
Michael Long offers a broad definition of task, Task is a type of jobwhich done for oneself or for others, for nothing or for some awards. Thistype of task includes weighing a patient, filling out a form, helpingsomeone across a road, dressing a child, making an airline reservation,buying a pair of shoes, taking a driving test, borrowing a library book,sorting letters, typing a letter, writing a cheque, painting a fence, taking a hotel reservation, and finding a street direction. In other words, “task”means all things people do everyday in all aspects of life. (Long, 1985:89)David Nunan looks on a task as a piece of work happened inclassroom, which making students involve in understanding, applying,producing or communicating in the target language as their attention ismainly paid to stimulate their grammatical knowledge in order todeliver meaning rather than to utilize form. The task still has a sense ofperfection, and can stand out a communicative behavior in its side at anystage. (Nunan, 1989:13)
