This document discusses task-based syllabus design. It defines a task-based syllabus as constructing lessons with various tasks as the basic building blocks, focusing on using the target language in real-world contexts rather than drilling isolated grammar items. It outlines aspects of task-based syllabus design like including authentic language data, providing information, and allowing practice. It also describes types of tasks and notes the advantages of task-based syllabi in goals, activities, and roles while the disadvantages include lack of guidance on combining grammar and skills.

- 2. POINTS WILL BE DISCUSSED: Definition of task-based syllabus Aspects of Task-based Syllabus Design Types of Tasks Advantages and Disadvantages of Task-based Syllabus Conclusion
- 3. DEFINITION OF TASK-BASED SYLLABUS A Task Task is a piece of classroom work which involves learners in comprehending, manipulating, producing, or interacting in the target language which their attention is particularly focuses on meaning rather than form (1989:10) By David Nunan Syllabus Syllabus is refers to the selecting and grading of content (Nunan.1989. 14)
- 4. DEFINITION OF TASK-BASED SYLLABUS So, task-based syllabuses are constructed with varieties of tasks as the basic blocks, focusing on using the target language in real world rather than drilling on the isolate grammatical items.
- 5. ASPECTS OF TASK-BASED SYLLABUS DESIGN Language data Information Practice
- 6. LANGUAGE DATA 1. Authentic data are samples of spoken or written language that have not been specifically written for the purpose of language teaching. 2. Non-authentic data are dialogues and reading passages that have been specially written.
- 7. INFORMATION They need experiential information about the target culture, they need linguistic information about target language systems, and they need process information about how to go about learning the language.
- 8. PRACTICE The third and final essential element is practice. “Practice makes perfect”
- 9. TYPES OF TASKS Real-world or target task Pedagogical tasks Rehearsal task Activation task Enabling skills Language exercise Communication activity
- 10. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF TASKBASED SYLLABUS Advantages Disadvantages Goals No guidance on how to Input combine the grammatical items with the communicative skills. No guidance provided on the selection of tasks and how tasks might be related to the real-world language needs of the learners Difficult to degree tasks Teacher-training courses Activities Teacher role Learner role Settings
- 11. CONCLUSION Task-based syllabuses are constructed with varieties of tasks as the basic blocks, focusing on using the target language in real world rather than drilling on the isolate grammatical items. In making practical decisions about task-based syllabus design, one must consider all the possible factors that might affect the teach ability of the syllabus. Adjusting the choice and integrating the different types according to learners’ needs.
