Task

For both TBLT and TBLA, a classroom task is defined as an activity that is goal-oriented; is content-focused; has a real outcome; and reflects real-life language use and language needs.

Task based language assessment

is the elicitation and evaluation of language use (across all modalities) for expressing and interpreting meaning, within a well-defined communicative context (and audience), for a clear purpose, towards a valued goal or outcome.
