Effect of Task-Based Learning in Reading Comprehension of EFL Student

Abstract

In task-based learning, the emphasis is on meaning and the learners are required to use the language for learning. Teaching English through tasks has been considered useful to employ in the language classroom because students are believed to learn the target language better when tasks are used as vehicles in language teaching. Developing reading comprehension ability is an important aspect in acquisition of a language. In addition, increasing learners’ motivation and performance has always been the primary concern of language teachers. Therefore, a new approach, TBL, is additionally applied to a traditional classroom situation with the aim of finding solutions to certain problems such as poor learner motivation.
