This book provides an engaging, informative, and reader-friendly introduction to the theory and practice of task-based language teaching (TBLT). Through a thoughtful discussion of the fundamental principles and rationales that inform TBLT and ways to implement and evaluate task-based teaching, this book will be an invaluable resource for language teachers, researchers, and students interested in task-based teaching and learning. -Andrea Revesz, Professor of Second Language Acquisition, University College London Institute of Education, UK Starting from the nature of how languages are learned and taught, and subsequently moving through the historical foundations of TBLT, theoretical assumptions, pedagogical options, and cutting-edge research, East masterfully provides a stand-alone, cohesive examination of task-based language teaching. Written via clear, straightforward descriptions that are engaging and accessible for all levels of TBLT expertise, this is a must-read for language teachers and task-based researchers alike! -Laura Gurzynski-Weiss, Associate Professor (Spanish and Portuguese) and Director of Undergraduate Studies, Indiana University , USA
