Some argue in favour of task based language instruction by claiming that tasks focus learners' attention on meaning and thus facilitate second language acquisition (Prahbu, 1987; Pica and Doughty, 1986; Pica, Kanagy, and Falodun,1993). Others argue against task based language instruction and call into question the concept of comprehensible input, the idea upon which the whole task based approach is based (Sheen, 1994).enSupplementary materialsEnglish languageTask based languageInformation gap tasksThe development of supplementary materials for English language teaching in a scarce resource environment: an action research studyUniversity of Western Cape
