Communicative
Language Teaching (CLT) and Task Based in Language Teaching (TBLT) could be
very different; however both have some features in common. In both methods is
used the real situation, this feature helps to understand the language into our
ordinary life. Students learn to use and practice in their daily life. To do
this, dynamic and interactive activities open the mind of students to understand
how language is used. For this reason, it is relevant that these activities
will be creative, dynamic, and interactive. Also, students feel motivation to interact
to others. Now we will analyze some differences of both methods. First, the
main goal for CLT is to enable to students to communicate in target language,
teacher, in this case, is a co-cooperator or facilitator of the learning. Whereas,
in TBLT the main goal is to facilitate student´s language learning by engaging
them in a variety of tasks that have a clear outcome. In other words, teacher´s
role is to choose tasks, based on an analysis of students´ learning needs, that
are appropriate to the level of students, and to create pre task and task
follow up. Another significant difference is communicative competence, in CLT students
can develop this component but in TBLT cannot. However, in TBLT students have
the opportunity to use linguistic sources and these are more than linked
aspects of language, but in CLT students cannot to do this. Finally, another
difference is that in TBLT students can develop a variety of tasks and this
involves to students into different styles of learning. Yet this does not
happen in CLT. In conclusion, we can understand both methods from their
perspectives, similitaries, differences, and applications. I think that both
have positive and useful principles and these would be indispensable in my
lesson plans.
