Abstract

Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and B1/B2 level sociolinguistic and pragmatic competences. The use of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) at B1/B2 level for development of sociolinguistic and pragmatic competences. The paper reflects on challenges and opportunities of TBLT by reviewing principles from theory and practice in the classroom. Well-crafted, intentionally designed tasks not only facilitate students’ engagement in socially appropriate language use, but they also contribute to their fuller journey as language learners. In addition, it addresses pedagogical implications, assessment procedures, and implementation challenges to provide an overview of TBLT regarding the development of communicative competence. This study also studies task structures affecting learners' motivation in various contexts and suggests some usages for getting it implemented.
